Barrier Companies, a fire and life safety business and portfolio company of Lincolnshire Management, has purchased Prevent, a west coast fire and life safety company. Prevent serves customers in healthcare settings across California, Texas and Arizona and will operate as its own brand alongside Barrier.

Prevent concentrates on fire barrier management and fire code compliance. The firm additionally developed The Solution, a line of mobile HEPA containment units used to prevent the spread of dust and particles from entering spaces during construction or maintenance work.

“Our geographic footprint is highly complementary to Barrier and joining forces will help both companies achieve accelerated growth as we cross-sell services in key markets to meet the needs of clients,” said Jodi Clem, President at PREVENT “We partner with some of the most impressive healthcare facilities in the U.S., from small surgical centers to university teaching hospitals to nationally acclaimed, multi-campus facilities. We look forward to continuing to provide our clients with best-in-class fire compartmentation management services while expanding our service offerings as part of Barrier Companies.”
