Securitas eyes systems integration expansion STOCKHOLM - The head of Securitas expects it will take 10 to 15 years to transform the company's U.S. operations to focus more on large, integrated systems. Thomas Berglund, chief executive officer of Securitas, told the Financial Times that the company's U.S. operations, which include Pinkerton and Burns, are profitable with sales growth of 12 percent. But that figure is expected to drop once the federal government takes over security at airports. The company currently has 10 to 15 percent of the market share in the guard business globally, compared with only two percent in systems integration work.
