Allied Universal

Allied Universal is a U.S.-based security and facility services company serving commercial organizations, government agencies, educational institutions, healthcare providers, transportation facilities, and other institutions. Its services include manned guarding, electronic security systems, remote monitoring, risk consulting, and investigations. The current company name followed the completion of the 2016 merger between AlliedBarton and Universal Services of America. Headquartered in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, the company primarily serves institutional and enterprise customers through combinations of on-site personnel, technology, and security-management programs. It is privately held, so detailed financial and operating disclosures are limited compared with those of publicly listed companies.

Allied Universal traces its origins to the U.S. security-service businesses AlliedBarton and Universal Services of America. The two companies completed a merger in 2016, creating the business that operates under the Allied Universal name. The combined company brought together guarding, electronic security, remote monitoring, consulting, and investigative services for commercial, government, education, healthcare, and transportation customers. It has continued to operate as a privately held company, positioning itself as an integrated provider that combines personnel-based security with technology and risk-management services. Because sufficiently reliable public-source material is not available here, this entry does not make further claims about later acquisitions, management changes, revenue, or global rankings.
