Truelink Capital has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Johnson Controls’ global intrusion products business.

The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The business’s brands include DSC, Qolsys, PowerG, Visonic, Bentel and Sur-Gard. Its intrusion detection and alarm communication products are sold primarily through security dealers.

It also serves integrators, distributors and service providers across North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific.

In its acquisition announcement, Truelink said it plans to invest in next-generation panels, sensors, communicators and interactive platforms. It also plans to expand engineering capacity and brand and channel programs. Further investment and organizational announcements are expected in the coming months.

“We also see significant opportunity to extend into adjacent product categories and new customer segments, both organically and via strategic add-on acquisitions,” said Todd Golditch, Truelink’s co-founder and managing partner.

Johnson Controls’ portfolio shift

Johnson Controls expanded its intrusion business in 2020 when it acquired the remaining stake in Qolsys after holding a majority interest since 2014. In that announcement, the company reported that its global intrusion products business generated $500 million in revenue in fiscal 2019.

Johnson Controls has also been reshaping its portfolio to focus on building solutions. In August 2025, the company announced it had completed the sale of its residential and light commercial HVAC business to Bosch. The overall transaction was valued at $8.1 billion, with Johnson Controls’ portion totaling approximately $6.7 billion.

Truelink also acquired Air Distribution Technologies from Johnson Controls in 2024.

Truelink’s existing investments include Bellevue, Wash.-based Prime Electric, an electrical contractor that provides video surveillance, intrusion detection, access control and fire alarm services. The firm announced its investment in Prime in January 2026.
