San Francisco-based Sciens Building Solutions, a fire detection, and security services sector company, recently purchased Anchor Fire Protection, a fire protection, life-safety solutions, and integrated security systems company based in Perkiomenville.

The purchase allows Sciens to expand its presence in the Pennsylvania and mid-Atlantic markets.

“We couldn’t be more pleased to become a part of Sciens with its outstanding technical expertise and geographic reach,” Ted Wills, Anchor Fire Protection president, said. “I chose Sciens because they have a very successful track record with the companies they have acquired, and they allow those companies to keep doing the things that have made them successful while maintaining their cultures. This is a phenomenal growth opportunity, and we look forward to partnering with existing Sciens companies in our region.”

“With Anchor’s excellent capabilities, we can continue our exciting growth trajectory in this region and further expand our presence in this important market,” Sciens CEO Terry Heath said.

Sciens provides commercial, institutional, and government customers with design, installation, and maintenance services for fire detection and clean agent fire suppression systems.

Anchor Fire Protection provides services to commercial and industrial customers. The business includes a fabrication shop, an inspection department, an in-house engineering department, and a service department.
