MENDOTA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA – SFP Holding, Inc. (Summit Companies) announced that Summit Fire & Security LLC, a subsidiary of SFP Holding, has completed the purchase of Republic Fire Protection (“Republic”) in its largest strategic add-on acquisition to date. In addition to Republic, Summit Fire & Security also closed on the acquisition of Fire Ranger, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. With four offices located in Florida and Georgia, this acquisition officially plants the flag for Summit Fire & Security in the southeastern United States and is aligned with the subsidiary’s rapid expansion strategy.

With two Florida-based branches located in Jacksonville and Fort Myers, and one branch located in Loganville, GA, Republic Fire offers a vast number of fire protection, safety and suppression products and services for all businesses. The Fire Ranger acquisition, closed in conjunction with Republic, expands Summit Fire & Security’s reach into the Fort Lauderdale, FL market and gives Summit Fire & Security a larger presence in specialty marine fire suppression capabilities.
