    We are thrilled to announce a monumental step forward in our company’s journey as we break ground on the final stages of expansion of our manufacturing campus on Chicago’s West Side, a historically underinvested neighborhood. This project marks the beginning of the Security Innovation Hub—a legacy project that not only expands our operations but also strengthens the local community by adding high-paying manufacturing jobs right here in America. As we embrace the future of work with cutting-edge automation, robotics, and AI, we're focused on enhancing the well-being of our incredible team. This expansion isn’t just about growth; it's about investing in people, revitalizing our neighborhood, and setting a new standard for sustainable manufacturing. In addition to this exciting development, we're proud to unveil our new, fully electric vehicle fleet for our project managers across the city and suburbs. Our clean and green initiatives continue, having been one of the first companies in Chicago to go completely solar. The Security Innovation Hub is the crown jewel of this expansion. As the first of its kind in the world, it will be a dynamic center for technology, education, and collaboration, featuring a coworking space, incubator for future tech, and immersive innovation lounge. Together, we will lead the charge in solving the greatest challenges in safety and security, with American-made technology at the forefront. This groundbreaking marks the next chapter in our 25-year legacy of protecting Illinois roadways, airports, and building stronger, safer communities. We are immensely grateful to our dedicated team, partners, the City of Chicago, and the State of Illinois for helping us continue to make our city second to none. The future of innovation lives here!

    Celebrating 25 Years of Innovation with IFI-Chicago and Perimeter Security Solutions We are thrilled to showcase our incredible team of project managers who have driven us to new heights of success and innovation. This year, at the iconic Buckingham Fountain in Chicago, our dedicated team successfully installed 9,000 linear feet of temporary security barriers for the Taste of Chicago. A huge thank you to our leadership team of Project Managers: From left to right: Vice President of Operations David Saltijeral, Aaron Trinidad, Alonzo Cepeda , Normando Contreras, Jay Latarewicz , and Noel Pruneda. Their hard work and dedication have truly made a difference, showcasing our commitment to excellence. A special shoutout to our Proud Union Ironworkers, who are always ready to answer the call to deploy our systems and prioritize security and safety as their number one priority. This milestone is even more special as we unveil our new branding and present our six new trucks—four electric Ford Motor Company Lightnings and two hybrids—symbolizing our strides towards sustainability. Additionally, we want to thank the City of Chicago for trusting us to protect and serve. Thank you to Mayor Brandon Johnson and Govener JB Pritzker for their steadfast support in making Chicago a world-class city through innovation and for always supporting union, minority, and veteran contractors. Here’s to 25 years of success, and many more to come! Thank you for being a part of this journey with IFI-Chicago and PSS. #IFI-Chicago #PSS #25Years #Innovation #Sustainability #ElectricTrucks #TasteOfChicago #ChicagoLeadership #UnionMinorityVeteranContractors

  • 🌟 **Todqy is Bring Your Kids to Work Day at IFI PSS!** 🌟 Today, we welcomed six very special guests to our workplace for our annual Bring Your Kids to Work Day. For many of these children, it was their very first glimpse into a working environment, and it was truly an inspiring experience for all of us. Having been in business for 25 years, events like this hold a special place in our hearts. It’s so important that we acclimate the next generation to see what a fulfilling and dynamic work environment looks like. The joy and curiosity on their faces today were priceless. I cherish days like today, where I get to spend quality time with these bright young minds. It’s a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. I’m immensely grateful to our incredible team at IFI PSS. Thank you for all that you do – your dedication, passion, and hard work create this magical place that we all love to call our “work” (though it often feels more like our favorite hobby). Days like this make it extra special. Here’s to celebrating our unique workplace and the fantastic people who make it all possible! #BringYourKidsToWorkDay #IFIPSS #TeamAppreciation #NextGeneration #25YearsStrong
