Integration of Performance Systems and Summit Fire: Expansion of Influence in the Pacific Northwest Region
Performance Systems Integration (PSI), a leading regional provider of fire alarm, sprinkler, and suppression systems in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, has announced a merger with Summit Fire & Security. This significant move is set to expand the range and geographic reach of fire alarm and suppression system services, particularly in the U.S. Pacific Northwest and across the nation.
The merger leverages Summit's expansive infrastructure, which now includes 125 locations across 37 states, allowing for broader service offerings, accelerated response times, and access to a larger network of certified technicians.
Key impacts of the merger include:
- Expanded Pacific Northwest presence: PSI’s strong regional foothold is enhanced by Summit’s resources and operational support, reinforcing service quality in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Northern California, and Hawaii.
- Broader national coverage: Summit’s footprint across 37 states grows with PSI’s integration, enabling them to offer comprehensive installation, inspection, testing, monitoring, repair, and maintenance services on a larger scale.
- Enhanced service capabilities: PSI employees gain access to more tools, training, and resources through Summit, improving operational efficiency and customer service.
- Industry reach and innovation: The combined company serves diverse sectors including commercial, healthcare, government, education, industrial, marine, and residential markets, supporting long-term growth and innovation in fire and life safety.
Jeff Evrard, CEO of Summit Companies, recognised cultural alignment and a relentless focus on customers and employees within PSI. The merger is intended to better serve PSI's customers and communities. PSI team members will continue providing their installation, inspection, monitoring, and repair services as part of Summit, while existing PSI customers can expect expanded service offerings.
The merger is still pending final regulatory approval. Once approved, it will bring nearly 500 employees from PSI into a stronger, more capable organization. Summit Companies is committed to investing in businesses that align with their values and vision, and PSI is no exception.
