Allegiant Fire Protection Opens Second Location in Valparaiso

The Aurora, IL-based Allegiant Fire Protection announces that it will open up its second location with a grand opening on June 15, at 3505 Redbow Drive, Suite A in Valparaiso, IN. The Valparaiso Chamber of Commerce will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4:30 p.m. to welcome its new neighbor to the business community.

Founded in 2018, the company offers expert technicians and support staff who specialize in fire protection system inspections and maintenance, as well as fire alarm system design, installation, service and repair, and 24/7 monitoring for its industrial, commercial and residential clients. The site, next to Porter County Regional Airport, will be a brand-new office building and will offer the same services as their Aurora location.

Allegiant’s Vice President Jill Nottke said that the company chose Valparaiso for its newest location because “we were looking for an area that we could easily access and serve our existing customer base while potentially adding new clientele. We are excited to have a staffed office in the Valparaiso and northwest Indiana area so we can respond to all customers quickly and efficiently as possible.”

Despite the pandemic and current economic conditions affecting other small businesses, the company is grateful and appreciative of its customers who have contributed to its growth.

“As a small business, we always keep in mind the amazing trust and loyalty of our customers who have been with us through the years,” she said. “Safety is their first concern when their customers, employees or loved ones walk through their doors, and we give them that peace of mind when we come to inspect their fire protection systems and safety equipment to ensure they have protection when they need it, and they meet their state, village or city requirements.”

Allegiant President Mike Carli looks forward to working with Valparaiso and its surrounding communities in providing professional service to clientele.

“Our overall goal is to become a well-trusted and known name in Indiana,” he said. “We’ve made a good name and reputation for ourselves in Illinois, and many of our customers have buildings that cross over into Indiana. We want to continue to maintain that positive relationship. Our main goals are to be well respected in the industry and a trusted advisor for all our clients.”
