BOCA RATON, Fla.—ADT announced on March 2 the completed acquisition of Aronson Security Group Inc. (ASG), a national integrator based in Renton, Wash., that has been in business for 55 years and has nearly 170 employees.

As a provider of Security Risk Management Services (SRMS), the ASG team includes risk and security program consultants, advanced integration services, consulting and design engineers and a national program management team, as well as technicians and business development and project managers, who work from locations across the United States.

“Our goal from the beginning was to create exceptional value for the security executive and their team, and change how the industry advanced that value into the business,” Phil Aronson, ASG CEO and president, said in a prepared statement. “ADT provides a unique platform for us to continue to focus on customers with scale in new geographic and vertical markets. I share a great deal of excitement with our leadership team for our employees and our customers to come together with an industry leader like ADT.”
