In recent years, M&A activity in the fire protection industry has increased dramatically. Private equity groups have been the most active acquirers, seeking to consolidate this highly fragmented industry.
We have been researching the industry to identify potential platform and add-on (or tuck-in) acquisitions. We started with a "raw" industry universe of several thousand companies, which we have been screening to find the best prospects for acquisition. As our screening progresses, we append and refine the information for each remaining company including size, ownership, geographic focus, and product/service mix. Our approach combines commercial databases, open source databases, proprietary analytical and statistical techniques, and painstaking manual research.
Below is a list of several large companies that were acquired in 2017. If you would like to obtain more information about our dataset, please click on the link below the list.
