Sciens Makes Second Deal of the Week With Purchase of Elite Fire Safety

SAN FRANCISCO — Sciens Building Solutions announces it has added Michigan-based Elite Fire Safety to its growing portfolio of companies in the United States.

This latest acquisition by Sciens is said to display its commitment to becoming the largest independent fire-life safety and security integrator in the U.S. by adding the state of Michigan to its U.S. presence.

This partnership will provide Elite and its customers with even more comprehensive resources and expertise, as they tap into Sciens’ knowledge and capabilities, while contributing significant expertise themselves, according to the company.

“By joining the Sciens positive growth trajectory across the country, the Elite team will certainly benefit from the company’s robust technical expertise and comprehensive building solutions, combined with our existing capabilities, empowering us to develop even broader offerings for the important Metropolitan Detroit Area market,” says David Sizemore, president of Elite Fire Safety. “We are excited to grow together under the well-respected Sciens platform and contribute to an expanding footprint in Michigan and beyond.”

Elite Fire Safety was established in 2007 in Lake Orion, Mich., where it quickly became known as an expert company in the field of fire and life-safety services and established a solid foundation in the Metropolitan Detroit Area that has grown to service clients throughout the State of Michigan and northern Ohio, Sciens explains.

Its team of nearly 80 professionals are the market leaders in providing fire and life-safety services in the complex healthcare and high-rise/commercial market spaces, according to the company.

“It’s a very exciting time at Sciens and we are delighted to expand into a new state with a market-leading company such as Elite,” says Terry Heath, Sciens’ CEO. “Their team is full of industry experts, and we are looking forward to expanding our presence in this region, while welcoming other great companies to our fun Sciens journey.”

Sciens acquired Penn.-based Anchor Fire Protection to expand its Mid-Atlantic presence on June 21.

Top 10 Security Stories From October 2021: China Ban Gains Steam, Vivint Countersues ADT

October saw its fair share of legal issues and acquisitions. This month, lawsuits involved home security companies, a gunshot detection provider and even a media company. Vivint Smart Home is seeking retribution for the lawsuit ADT filed against it last year that alleged Vivint salespeople go to ADT customers’ homes, get them to sign Vivint contracts and install the company’s alarm systems in their homes under false pretenses. Vivint had requested a motion to have that lawsuit dismissed, but when the judge denied the motion, Vivint launched a countersuit claiming it is in fact ADT that is deceiving and stealing its customers.

STEARNS COUNTY, Minn. — Bring Me the News reports that Minnesota’s Attorney General, Keith Ellison, says he’s gotten consumers in Stearns County out of home security contracts after they were misled by a door-to-door salesman.

When that trust is betrayed, it’s emotionally and financially painful. I appreciate Skyline and Safe Home taking the right step in canceling these contracts while my office does what we can under the law to hold M
