The purchase of the business operations includes commercial, residential and municipal customers in the Illinois and Indiana markets.  Terms of the sale were not disclosed. 

“The acquisition of Pyramid Alarm continues our commitment to growing our electronic security platform strategically in the United States,” said Tony Byerly, president and COO, Stanley CSS North America and United Kingdom Direct. “We are excited to add more density to our customer base in the Illinois and Indiana markets. The addition of Pyramid Alarm creates additional efficiencies for our existing operations in those markets and solidifies our relationship with local law enforcement and municipalities across Chicagoland.
