Darley Acquires Self Testing Systems

W.S. Darley & Co. announced that it has signed a purchase agreement to acquire Self Testing Systems (STS) of Albuquerque, New Mexico. STS is a premier manufacturer of packaged residential fire sprinkler pump systems that feature patent-pending technology with the potential to forever change the residential market. Their marquee system, the STS, offers the only self-calibrating and self-testing system.

According to Jeremy Taylor, president of STS, “The acquisition by Darley was very synergistic. Darley has a first-rate reputation in the fire and emergency markets built upon their decades of emphasis on quality products and long-lasting relationships with their customers. It is a unique, family-held company and being a part of it is an honor. I am confident they will emerge as a leader in this new market.”

Paul Darley, CEO of W.S. Darley & Co., feels this addition complements the emerging Darley presence in the residential market. “We recognize the value that fire sprinkler systems add to saving lives. We also see the growth potential of this market as states pass laws mandating residential fire sprinkler systems in new residential construction.”
