AlliedBarton

AlliedBarton was an American security services brand providing guarding and related security services to businesses and other institutions. It was regarded as one of the larger independent security providers in the United States. In 2016, AlliedBarton merged with Universal Services of America to create Allied Universal, so the former brand should be distinguished from the post-merger company. The available material is insufficient to verify its founder, headquarters, detailed scale, or specific service portfolio.

AlliedBarton was an American security services company founded in 1957. Its business focused on guarding and related security services for commercial and institutional clients, and it became a substantial participant in the U.S. security services market. In 2016, AlliedBarton merged with Universal Services of America to form Allied Universal. After the merger, AlliedBarton ceased operating as an independent entity and its activities were incorporated into the new Allied Universal organization. The available material is insufficient to expand on its early origins, management history, headquarters changes, or detailed transaction terms.
