what happened
FirstService Corporation said its subsidiary Century Fire Protection has recently acquired A&A Fire Protection, LLC. The company announced the deal in a press release distributed via GlobeNewswire on October 19, 2026.
Founded in 1977 and based in Greenville, South Carolina, A&A designs, installs, inspects and repairs fire sprinkler systems for commercial clients across South Carolina, western North Carolina and north Georgia. A&A president Jake Gilstrap will keep running day-to-day operations and retain a minority equity stake. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
why it matters
The deal is small relative to FirstService, which generates more than $5.5 billion in annual revenue, so it is unlikely to move its financials. It reflects Century's strategy of growing scale in markets it already serves, but it has little relevance for broader equity or currency markets.
