By joining forces, we’re combining Turnkey’s proven customer relationships and Texas expertise with Minuteman’s full-service capabilities, advanced technology partnerships, and nationwide reach.”

Turnkey brings specialized capabilities in engineering, design-build, project management and complex security integrations from new construction to modernization of existing facilities. The company’s hands-on approach has earned long-term client trust and certifications across leading security technologies, according to an announcement. 

“Minuteman’s growth and commitment to innovation mirror what we’ve always stood for, which is customer-first service and technical excellence,” stated Martinez, Founder of Turnkey Security. “This partnership means our customers across Texas will now have access to expanded resources, deeper service coverage, and the strength of a national integrator that truly values people and performance.”
