RapidFire Safety & Security Expands Texas Presence with Progressive Protection Acquisition

RapidFire Safety & Security has acquired Progressive Protection Security Systems, a Central Texas-based security provider, expanding its regional footprint and service capabilities. The acquisition represents a strategic move to enhance the company's security and fire safety solutions across Texas.

Founded in 1997 by Eddie Notgrass, Progressive Protection has built a reputation for exceptional customer service, specializing in commercial security, fire protection, access control, and low voltage solutions. The company has grown from a home garage startup to a trusted provider serving thousands of businesses throughout Texas.

Brian Modglin, RapidFire's Chief Operating Officer, emphasized the strategic value of the acquisition, noting that Progressive's customer-focused approach and deep regional roots align perfectly with RapidFire's mission to safeguard businesses. The merger will allow RapidFire to offer a broader range of security solutions in the rapidly growing Texas market.

For Progressive's founder Eddie Notgrass, the acquisition represents an opportunity to provide enhanced services while maintaining the company's commitment to customer care. The existing Progressive team will continue to operate, now under the RapidFire umbrella, ensuring continuity of service for their established client base.

This acquisition marks RapidFire's continued expansion strategy in the Southwest, demonstrating the company's aggressive approach to growth in the commercial safety and security sector. By integrating Progressive's local expertise with its broader operational capabilities, RapidFire is positioning itself as a comprehensive security solutions provider in the Texas market.
