Pye-Barker Fire & Safety has acquired Modern Systems, Inc., a Kentucky-based provider of security, fire alarm, and integrated technology solutions, for an undisclosed amount. This corporate acquisition marks a significant expansion for Pye-Barker Fire & Safety into comprehensive security and smart technology services.
Since its founding in 1979, Modern Systems, Inc. has served Kentucky and surrounding states, establishing itself as a premier dealer for security and fire alarms. The company offers a wide array of services including custom installations for Home Theater, Audio/Video, Control 4 Home Automation, Flat Panel Televisions, Entrance Gates, Central Vacuum, Cameras (CCTV), Phone Systems, and Intercom. With offices in Somerset, Lexington, and Bowling Green, Modern Systems is recognized as one of the largest independent alarm companies in Kentucky, catering to government, commercial, industrial, and residential clients.
For Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, the acquisition of Modern Systems is a strategic move to broaden its service portfolio and strengthen its regional presence. While Modern Systems has a strong fire alarm division, the integration also brings extensive expertise in advanced security solutions and home/business automation, diversifying Pye-Barker’s traditional focus. This allows the acquiring company to offer integrated life safety and technology solutions, expanding its customer base with a full suite of protective and smart infrastructure services.
The synergy between the two entities is expected to create a formidable provider of comprehensive safety and technology solutions. Clients can anticipate a unified approach to security, fire protection, and automation, leveraging Modern Systems’ deep local roots and diverse technical capabilities under Pye-Barker’s operational framework. The combined organization is poised to enhance service offerings and reinforce its market position as a one-stop shop for advanced security and life safety needs across Kentucky and surrounding areas.
