Allied Universal Picks Up
Security Services Division of Yale Enforcement

 

 

Wendel welcomes the acquisition by Allied Universal of the security services portion of Yale Enforcement Services, Inc. The Belleville, Illinois-based company offers a full range of solutions, including uniformed security professionals, mobile patrol, physical security and life safety.

 

Yale Enforcement's 1,800-plus employees serve a range of vertical markets including healthcare, manufacturing, industrial, warehouse/distribution, commercial real estate and retail throughout the Central, Midwestern and Southern United States. Yale generates annual revenue in excess of $40 million.

 

Yale is Allied Universal's fourth acquisition following the merger of Universal Services of America and AlliedBarton Security Services to form the new Allied Universal.

 

This transaction and the resulting synergies align with Allied Universal's goal of further penetration into niche areas and will contribute positively to the company's long-term value creation. Wendel is the co-controlling shareholder of Allied Universal with a ca. 33% ownership stake.
