APi Group announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Wtech Fire Group, strengthening its presence in fire sprinkler and suppression services across Europe.
The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals.
Wtech, headquartered in Ireland, operates across key European markets including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Germany, and the Nordic region. The company provides fire protection, suppression, and detection solutions and is expected to contribute approximately $175 million in annual revenue, with margins aligned with APi’s international business.
The acquisition addresses a strategic gap in APi’s European capabilities, where the company has established strength in fire alarm, detection, and electronic security but has sought to scale its fire sprinkler and suppression offerings. By integrating Wtech, APi aims to deliver a more comprehensive, end-to-end fire and life safety platform for customers across the region.
Following the close, Wtech’s CEO Ted Wright is expected to continue leading the business, supporting continuity and future growth under APi’s ownership.
The deal reflects APi’s broader strategy to expand its international footprint and enhance service offerings in high-growth segments within fire and life safety.
KEY QUOTES:
“We are excited to welcome the Wtech team to the APi family. Our international business has built real strength in fire alarm and detection, and electronic security, but fire sprinkler and suppression is an area where we need greater scale to truly serve our customers end-to-end. Wtech fills that gap nicely, and their expertise in this space makes them a natural fit. We are pleased to have Ted Wright continue to lead the Wtech business after closing and are confident that, under APi’s ownership, there is a significant runway for Wtech to grow both organically and through strategic acquisitions.”
Russ Becker, President And CEO, APi Group Corporation
“Joining APi Group marks a transformational moment for Wtech and is a reflection of everything our team has worked so hard to build. From day one, it was clear that APi’s values, a commitment to safety, entrepreneurial leadership, and long-term investment in their people, align closely with our own values and culture at Wtech. Our customers trust us to deliver high-quality fire and life safety solutions, and being part of APi’s global platform gives us the resources and reach to do that on an even greater scale. I’m incredibly proud of what the Wtech team has achieved, and I’m excited about what we will accomplish together as part of the APi family.”
Ted Wright, CEO, Wtech Fire Group
