Thompson Safety is actively searching for like-minded fire protection and first aid business partners to join us in the next chapter of growth. WE ARE NOT one of the big consolidators. Our goal is to give owners and operators an opportunity to cement their legacy within a culture that values what they have created, learns from their existing capability, and delivers additional value to their customers and owner/operators.
At Thompson Safety we are passionate about our customers, and our goal is to partner with businesses that feel the same way. Through this relentless customer focus and a culture of "small business mentality/big business capability", we have been able to deliver for our customers, employees, and partners. We are looking for companies and people to help us write the next chapter!
"I couldn't be more excited to embark on this new chapter with Thompson Safety. Their vision for the future is truly unlike anything I have ever seen in the industry and the energy and passion of their team are contagious. Together, we're not just expanding our services—we're creating a legendary partnership that will change the game for our customers and our community," said Steven Monaco.
“With Thompson Safety, our employees have the opportunity to be part of a fast-growing fire protection business and not just a dot on the map,” said Jonathan Kartman, CEO of Kartman Fire. “This partnership allows us to provide our customers with even greater resources and service offerings while continuing the legacy of care and technical excellence we’ve built over the last 40 years.”
“Thompson Safety was a natural fit for Bulwark’s next chapter. Their commitment to taking care of customers and employees and their focus on culture aligned with our vision for the company. Our team is extremely excited to join the Thompson family to help build on the Bulwark legacy,” said Josue Flores, former owner of Bulwark Fire Protection.
“Partnering with Thompson Safety was a perfect choice for A1 Shiner.

The company's growth trajectory and the future opportunities with the company were major factors for joining the team as well.” Ross Spann, owner of A1 Shiner Fire & Safety
In the fire protection and safety space, when partnering with one of the major consolidators, companies can become just a number on an annual or quarterly report. This can lead to loss of identity, company culture, and can often leave legacies and people behind. Our goal as a partner is to allow owners and operators the flexibility to continue doing what they do best by building off their existing legacy, skillsets, and people. We want owners to continue to do what they do best in running successful businesses, with the added support and capabilities that partnering with Thompson Safety brings.
As an SMB in the fire and safety space we have a huge runway for expanded geography, service capability and customer cross sell opportunities. Whether you're focused in a region of the country or an expert on a narrower product offering, we have opportunities for you to implement your talents across a wider organization, cross sell against a large customer base, and expand your product lines in your existing footprint. No two partnerships are alike, and we want to work with you to design that path.
We recognize that businesses are often at different places along their journey and can want different things out of a partnership. At Thompson Safety, we value and understand that, and pride ourselves in being flexible in crafting deals that fit each business owner’s goals. Whether you are looking to exit the business entirely or find a partner to help you go faster for the next 5 years, we offer a variety of plans that fit the strategic vision of your organization.
One of the major inhibitors to growth we see is owner/operators who get bogged down by the multitude of back office functions. As a business owner we understand putting your customers first and keeping your service quality high is critical to success. That is why we have put together a platform of support to help you grow. Our back office staff is here to help your team with key functions like Human Resources, Banking, Technology, Marketing, Collections, AP and AR. By centralizing these process we can deliver these services to your business so you can focus on your customers.
