What Advanced Systems Group does

Advanced Systems Group (ASG) is a low-voltage systems integrator headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, operating as a division of Shambaugh & Son, L.P., which is wholly owned by EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME), a Fortune 500 mechanical and electrical construction services company. The company designs, engineers, installs, and maintains integrated audio, video, stage lighting, structured cabling, fire alarm, card access, and CCTV/security systems for institutional and commercial clients across the Midwest (Indiana, Michigan, Illinois). ASG positions itself as a single-source low-voltage contractor, with certified RCDD engineers and BICSI installers delivering end-to-end solutions through design-build, competitive bidding, and direct enterprise sales.

ASG's core service portfolio spans professional audio systems (digital mixing consoles, steerable line-array speakers), video projection and conferencing, theatrical and architectural lighting, fire alarm/life safety systems with cloud-based management and BACnet/IP building control integration, wireless mesh network fire alarm solutions, aspirating smoke detection, structured cabling infrastructure, and integrated security (access control, IP video surveillance, intrusion detection). Notable technical differentiators include 3D room acoustic modeling for challenging environments and expertise across multi-vendor equipment platforms (Allen & Heath, Biamp, Crestron, Bosch, Honeywell, Axis Communications). Customers span Education (K-12 and Higher Ed such as Purdue, Homestead HS, University of St. Francis), House of Worship (Victory Life Church, Outlook Christian), Healthcare/Wellness (Byron Wellness, Parkview Health), Corporate (Sweetwater Sound, Earlham College), and Non-profit (Junior Achievement, Rescue Mission, GiGi's Playhouse).

Revenue is generated through project-based custom quotations for design-build and competitive-bid contracts, supplemented by product sales (brand-name equipment installation) and ongoing service/maintenance revenue including a 24/7 emergency service offering. Pricing is project-specific with no standardized public tiers. Distribution is direct-to-client enterprise field sales, augmented by participation in Shambaugh & Son's National Design Build Team serving industrial and food-processing clients. The company employs 11-50 staff and operates as a non-revenue-disclosed subsidiary within EMCOR's construction services segment.

Direct peers

• AVI-SPL: One of the largest US AV systems integrators, providing design, integration, and managed services for AV, collaboration, and conferencing. Directly comparable to ASG across AV, video, and unified communications installs for enterprise, education, and worship customers.
• Convergint Technologies: National security, fire alarm, and AV systems integrator serving commercial, healthcare, and education customers. Overlaps with ASG on fire alarm, access control, CCTV, and structured cabling scopes, with similar design-build delivery model.
• IES Communications: Low-voltage systems integrator within IES Holdings, specializing in structured cabling, security, audio-visual, and life safety for commercial and institutional clients. Closely comparable scope to ASG with broader geographic reach.
• Wachter: National low-voltage systems integrator providing structured cabling, security, life safety, and AV solutions to enterprise, retail, and industrial customers. Comparable services portfolio and project-based delivery model to ASG.
• Cenero: AV integration and collaboration services firm focused on enterprise, healthcare, and higher education markets. Comparable to ASG's AV and conferencing practice with a stronger managed services overlay.
• Ford Audio-Video Systems: US AV integrator delivering design-build audio, video, lighting, and broadcast systems to houses of worship, education, sports, and corporate clients. Directly comparable to ASG's worship and higher-ed work.

Others

• EMCOR Group (parent divisions): ASG's parent. Other EMCOR subsidiaries (e.g., Havel, EMCOR Services Shambaugh, Harroun Fire Protection) deliver adjacent low-voltage, fire protection, and building services—not direct competitors, but the operating peer set most relevant for capital allocation and execution benchmarks.

Emerging players

• TEECOM: Technology design consultancy for low-voltage, AV, security, and network systems in large buildings. Adjacent to ASG's design and engineering practice but operates at the design/specification layer rather than installation.
