Over the last few years, Summit Companies has acquired more than 60 companies through its operating subsidiaries, Summit Fire Protection and Summit Fire & Security, and the excitement surrounding the acquisition of FLSA by Summit Fire & Security is off the charts. We’re proud to welcome the FLSA team members to our Summit family. We strongly believe that their energy, passion and level of expertise is among the best in the industry and will fuel Summit Fire & Security’s continued growth,” states Jeff Evrard, Summit Companies CEO.
