Convergint Expands Capabilities with Simpsons Acquisition

Convergint is acquiring Simpson Security Systems, a security systems integrator that provides services across Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama and Tennessee. This acquisition further strengthens and expands Convergint’s footprint across the Southeast and Central regions of the United States.

Founded in 1991, Simpson Security Systems has grown to be one of the largest security systems integrators in Louisiana, providing security and special systems solutions, with a large concentration of fire alarm, access control, and video surveillance. The company’s clientele includes businesses of all sizes, healthcare facilities, and state and government entities, including the Department of Justice.

“We’ve celebrated tremendous growth this past year, and with each acquisition, we remain focused on two things: culture and service. We are honored to be welcoming over 75 colleagues from Simpson Security Systems,” said Ken Lochiatto, CEO of Convergint. “We look forward to working together, deepening our local vertical market expertise, and continuing to provide our customers with best-in-class service across the Southeast and Central regions of the United States.”
