MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 15, 2024 – Memphis-based total protection company State Systems today announced the acquisition of Kizer Fire Protection, a leading fire protection provider based in Lexington, Tennessee. Serving clients across West Tennessee, Kizer provides a range of fire protection products and services including fire extinguishers, kitchen suppression systems, emergency lighting and kitchen vent hood cleaning.
“Kizer has successfully served the West Tennessee market for the last 26 years with honesty and integrity,” said Bob McBride, president of State Systems. “We look forward to strengthening our presence in the region and plan to continue offering the same excellent service to its loyal customers, address other property protection needs and carry out the Kizer legacy.”
The acquisition comes on the heels of the retirement of Tim and Linda Kizer who founded the company in 1998. Kizer’s two current full-time employees will remain on the team as State Systems employees to seamlessly continue servicing Kizer’s more than 1,300 customers. The acquisition enables State Systems’ plans to expand its services across the West Tennessee region and deliver additional protection services beyond fire protection to new and current customers.
