Security 101 is proud to announce the acquisition of SETEC, a proven security integrator based in Chantilly, Virginia, strengthening our growing presence in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The move represents a strategic expansion into one of the nation’s most vital markets for enterprise and federal security solutions.
Four Decades of Trusted Security Expertise
Founded in 1987, Security & Energy Technologies Corporation (SETEC) has built a strong reputation for delivering sophisticated, high-performance security systems to commercial and government clients across the Mid-Atlantic region. Co-owned by Chet Hahne and Mark Morgan, the company’s talented team, trusted customer relationships, and extensive base of recurring service contracts align closely with Security 101’s commitment to simplifying complex security challenges through customized, technology-driven solutions.
“We’re excited to welcome SETEC to the Security 101 family,” said Greg Daly, CEO of Security 101. “Their strong reputation, technical expertise, and customer relationships in the D.C. corridor align perfectly with our growth strategy and strengthen our ability to serve the federal market.” |
Robert Donnelly, who has overseen SETEC’s operations for many years, will continue to lead the team as General Manager.
“Our dedication to customer service hasn’t changed, but now we have the strength of a national network behind us. With Security 101, we’re positioned to take on larger, more complex projects across both commercial and federal markets.” |
Chet Hahne, SETEC’s co-owner, added:
“For nearly four decades, SETEC has been built on hard work, integrity, and a commitment to doing what’s right for our customers. Joining Security 101 ensures that legacy continues to grow within a national organization that shares our values.” |
The addition of SETEC provides Security 101 with enhanced resources in systems design, project execution, and ongoing maintenance for high-security environments. It also positions the company to continue building its capabilities in federal and commercial verticals, areas of growing demand across the U.S.
This acquisition represents another key milestone in Security 101’s national growth strategy, combining local expertise with enterprise-scale support to deliver best-in-class security integration from coast to coast.
