AMAROK Electric Guarding Fence

AMAROK Acquires Stake in Evolon Technology

The strategic investment integrates AI-powered video monitoring with perimeter electric fencing to enhance commercial site security.

AMAROK has completed a strategic investment in Evolon Technology Inc., acquiring a 45% ownership stake in the AI-powered video monitoring provider.

The partnership integrates AMAROK’s electric fencing systems with Evolon’s virtual guarding technology. The combined offering is intended to create a layered perimeter defense system that utilizes real-time visibility and proactive threat detection.

The collaboration follows an operational period where AMAROK utilized Evolon’s technology within its own security ecosystem. According to company leadership, the technical evaluation led to the decision to expand the relationship through a formal investment.

The integrated solution unifies electric fencing, AI-driven camera detection and gate access into a single monitoring platform. The companies stated that the move is a response to the increasing frequency and sophistication of threats against commercial organizations.

As part of the transaction, AMAROK has appointed two members to the Evolon board of directors. Nathan Leaphart, AMAROK’s chief financial officer, and Hayelom Tadesse, senior vice president of strategy and continuous improvement, will join the board.

The investment is expected to accelerate product development and expand the market footprint for both entities within the North American perimeter security sector.
