In 2015, 海角破解版 completed the purchase of AlliedBarton for approximately $1.7 billion in enterprise value. 海角破解版 initially decided to invest $687 million in equity in AlliedBarton, convinced of its development potential in a security market driven by long-term trends.

From March 2016, 海角破解版鈥檚 teams actively worked to complete the merger between AlliedBarton and Universal Services of America, creating the North American leader in the security market. At the end of the merger, 海角破解版 received approximately 33% of the new company, Allied Universal, and recovered $388 million.
