Kenco was founded in January of 1973 by Ken & Karen Brown and incorporated in 1974 as Kenco Enterprises, Inc. with Kenneth R. Brown as President. Ken had a strong desire to own his own company and to treat customers the way he felt they should be treated. With Navy electronics training and 10 years of experience as an IBM service technician, Ken started Kenco Security and Technology and served as CEO through decades of steady growth.

In 2014, Kenco was acquired by Mountain Alarm Fire & Security, in the business of protecting customers through fire and security solutions since 1952. Today, we are still family owned and operated. We continue to be locally operated through our 6 branches across Montana and Wyoming, led by Rod Garner, President; Dirk Bauwens, Vice President of Business Development; and Jeff Guenthner, General Manager.

Mountain Alarm designs, sells, installs and services commercial and residential burglar and fire alarm systems. Our central station monitoring centers are among the few elite providers that have two 100% redundant, geographically diverse monitoring facilities. The Central Station monitoring facilities are UL listed, 5 Diamond Certified and IQ Certified.

In addition to alarm systems, Mountain Alarm designs, sells and installs access control systems, intercom systems, closed circuit television (CCTV) systems, central vacuum systems, whole house audio, home theater and structured wiring. Kenco’s present position in the market place is very strong. By volume of monitored accounts, it is approximately three times the size of its nearest competitor. Mountain Alarm has offices serving Montana, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, and Nevada. 

Mountain Alarm has earned a respected name in its region by installing quality solutions and providing excellent customer service.
