Allied Universal began with a vision that security could be more than just guards at posts - it could be a comprehensive blend of people, technology, and innovation working together to protect what matters most. Founded in 2016 through the strategic merger of AlliedBarton Security Services and Universal Services of America, the company brought together decades of expertise dating back to 1957. What started as a combination of two industry leaders has evolved into the world's leading security and facility services provider, with operations spanning over 100 countries and territories.
Today, Allied Universal stands as the third-largest private employer in North America and the seventh-largest globally, with approximately 150,000 team members serving more than 400 Fortune 500 companies. The company's success stems from its commitment to innovation - leveraging cutting-edge smart technologies like HELIAUS® AI alongside highly trained security professionals. Under the leadership of CEO Steve Jones, Allied Universal has grown to $23 billion in annual revenue by consistently delivering on its purpose: being there to safeguard customers, communities, and people around the world.
