Gary Ainsworth, the President and CEO of Service Security (SSTI), started the company in 2003. Gary noted that this acquisition brings new products and services for his customers. “We will continue to offer our great products and services. Plus, we are now able to offer construction services, facility maintenance, ATMs, ITMs, and TCRs.” Gary continued “Bancare’s experience, products, and team members will be a great way of expanding our resources and give us more options in serving our customer’s needs. We are proud to be part of the Bancare family.”

“No family member left behind” said James Cozzi as he continued to express his desire to “be stronger together and strive to be better.” James refers to this as “our companies greatness strategy.” This union provides Bancare a “broader service and equipment range in central Illinois, northern Illinois, and southern Wisconsin,” said James.
