IdentiSys Inc., North America’s largest sales and service integrator of identification, card issuance, emergency response, customer line management, access control and video security systems, recently announced the acquisition of LINSTAR, a full-service security systems integrator, located in New York.

LINSTAR - A Division Of IdentiSys

LINSTAR has installed and serviced identification, emergency management and a wide variety of security solutions to customers throughout New York and Pennsylvania since 1998. They have a wealth of experience and are highly respected in the corporate, government, financial, healthcare, education, and security markets that they serve.

“Adding LINSTAR to the IdentiSys business portfolio and implementing plans to build on their solid record of success is exciting,” said Debra R. Ferril, President and COO of IdentiSys. “We are really looking forward to bringing together our similar, yet different, product portfolios and comprehensive on-site service capabilities. We welcome the addition of the outstanding LINSTAR staff to our organization and, together, we will provide our customers with the IdentiSys sales and service experience we proudly deliver throughout the rest of our corporate footprint. We are also looking forward to implementing some of LINSTAR’s product lines and best practices to improve IdentiSys’ security solutions portfolio across North America.”

Shields, founder and CEO of IdentiSys. “This purchase is our 12th dealer acquisition in the last 10 years.
