Scott''s equipment is sold to many customers of Tyco Fire & Security Services group, providing complementary products through a common distribution channel."

Mark Kirk, president and chief executive officer of Scott, said, "Over the past two years, Scott has achieved tremendous financial and operational success. However, with our industry entering a period of significant consolidation, size and scale will be increasingly important.
