Security 101, a portfolio company of Gemspring Capital and a national provider of comprehensive commercial security solutions, announced the acquisition of Security & Energy Technologies Corporation ("SETEC"), a Chantilly, Virginia–based systems integrator with deep expertise serving both commercial and federal government clients.
This transaction marks Security 101's 19th strategic acquisition, further strengthening its presence in the Mid-Atlantic market.
Integration of complex access control
Founded in 1987, SETEC has earned a decades-long reputation for technical excellence and exceptional customer service, providing design, installation, and integration of complex access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, and life-safety systems.
The company maintains long-term maintenance and service contracts and is widely recognised for its trusted relationships across enterprise and government sectors.
SETEC's operations
SETEC was founded and co-owned by Chet Hahne and Mark Morgan, who led the company through decades of steady growth. Robert Donnelly, a long-time member of the leadership team, will now serve as General Manager, overseeing SETEC's operations across the Washington, D.C. region.
"We're excited to welcome SETEC to the Security 101 family," said Greg Daly, CEO of Security 101. "Their strong reputation, technical expertise, and customer relationships in the D.C. corridor align perfectly with our growth strategy and strengthen our ability to serve the federal market."
"For nearly four decades, SETEC has been built on hard work, integrity, and a commitment to doing what's right for our customers," said Chet Hahne, Co-Owner of SETEC. "Joining Security 101 ensures that legacy continues to grow within a national organisation that shares our values."
Security 101's continued nationwide expansion
Robert Donnelly, General Manager, added, "Our dedication to customer service hasn't changed, but now we have the strength of a national network behind us. With Security 101, we're positioned to take on larger, more complex projects across both commercial and federal markets."
The acquisition underscores Security 101's continued nationwide expansion, reinforcing its position as one of the fastest-growing security integrators in the United States and establishing a strong foundation for further growth in the Washington, D.C. and federal markets.
