Translink Corporate Finance in the United States advised Esscoe, a premier provider of mission-critical security and fire and life safety systems in the Chicago and Midwest regions, on the sale to Convergint, a global leader in service-based systems integration.
Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Lake Zurich, Illinois, Esscoe provides customers with essential security, life safety, and mass notification systems. The acquisition adds more than 80 local colleagues to Convergint, leveraging Esscoe’s established customer base to greatly expand market reach and technology expertise. This will bolster Convergint’s key service capabilities across verticals including financial, utilities, government, healthcare, and data centers, enabling the company to accelerate its growth across the Midwestern U.S.

Their mission resonates strongly with Convergint’s own Values and Beliefs and dedication to being our customers’ best service provider.”
