Convergint Technologies LLC

Convergint Technologies LLC operates as a full-service systems integrator focused on electronic security, fire alarms, and building automation. Founded in 2001, the company grew from a single office into one of the largest integrators in North America, with over 10,000 employees and service capabilities across the United States, Canada, and select international markets. The firm's growth has been accelerated by a series of strategic acquisitions and organic expansion under private equity ownership. Convergint provides design, installation, and maintenance of security systems, including access control and video surveillance, as well as building management and fire protection technology. The firm sources equipment from leading manufacturers and offers integrations through platforms such as Genetec, Milestone, and Avigilon. Its revenue mix includes both one-time project-based installs and long-term recurring service contracts, the latter providing stable cash flows. Key clients include Fortune 500 companies and institutions like hospitals, colleges, and airports. The company has grown through over a dozen acquisitions since its founding, particularly under the ownership of Leonard Green & Partners, which invested in 2016. In June 2024, Convergint completed the acquisition of Security Equipment Inc., expanding its presence in the Midwest (per Security Systems News, June 2024). The firm does not disclose financials, but trade press reports estimated annual revenue above $2 billion as of 2023. No philanthropic vehicles or operating businesses beyond its core integration business have been publicly identified. Convergint is unusual among large systems integrators in being privately held — most national peers are publicly traded or part of larger conglomerates. This structure allows long-term investment in service capabilities and acquisitions without quarterly earnings pressure. The firm's employee-ownership model, with over half of employees holding equity, is designed to align front-line technicians and managers with company performance. Succession planning has relied on internal promotions and private equity partner continuity rather than a founding family or single owner.
