SRM Equity Partners Expands Its Portfolio with RF Technologies Acquisition in Safety Solutions

SRM Equity Partners Acquires RF Technologies

On June 5, 2025, SRM Equity Partners acquired RF Technologies, a leader recognized for its cutting-edge solutions in safety and security within healthcare and senior living environments. This significant acquisition enables SRM, an operationally driven private equity firm, to diversify and deepen its commitment to safety technology solutions.

Founded in 1987, RF Technologies (RFT) has established itself as an innovator in the safety tech landscape, especially through its Real Time Location Systems (RTLS). The company has continually believed that safety should extend beyond being a mere product—it must be integral to standards across facilities, including healthcare settings, educational institutions, and hospitality establishments. This philosophy is evident in its extensive range of products, including CODE ALERT® for nurse call systems, SAFE PLACE® for comprehensive safety management, HELP ALERT® for staff duress situations, and SENSATEC® for advanced fall management.

Headquartered in Brookfield, Wisconsin, RF Technologies runs a robust operation that combines extensive software and hardware engineering, product development, and manufacturing under one roof. The company boasts over 140 dedicated employees who share a common goal: enhancing the safety standards within the sectors they serve.

Glen Jonas, the Founder of RF Technologies, expressed his enthusiasm about the merger, emphasizing that their innovative technologies have revolutionized care and safety in numerous sectors. He noted that through diligent teamwork and a steadfast commitment to their mission, they have assisted caregivers in improving their service delivery. Mr. Jonas will remain actively involved as Non-Executive Chairman, ensuring a smooth transition and continuity in strategic vision during this partnership.

Jeremiah Yu, the Managing Partner at SRM Equity Partners, expressed excitement about collaborating with the talented team at RF Technologies. He highlighted that the company’s unique technology focus and historic dedication to safety aligns perfectly with SRM's investment values and strategy.

The management structure at RF Technologies will continue under SRM’s ownership, with key figures such as Ryan Beal retaining their roles as Chief Operating Officer, Jeff Aulds as Chief Revenue Officer, and Bob Metzler as Chief Technology Officer. The leadership transition will be led by Fausto Lucero, who will step into the role of President, ushering a fresh phase for the company.

Operational continuity is a key factor that SRM aims to uphold. Ryan Beal indicated that this partnership will provide RF Technologies with sustained support to expand further through organic growth and strategic acquisitions. He also stressed that this collaboration will enhance its culture of innovation, further focus on operational excellence, and facilitate digital transformation as they aim to disrupt the safety tech sector.

Looking forward, Fausto Lucero emphasized the importance of supporting RFT in advancing safety solutions and operational efficiency across various settings, including hospitals, senior living communities, schools, and hospitality environments on a national scale.

As a recognized provider of life safety solutions across various markets, RF Technologies has completed over 11,000 installations since its inception. Their customized solutions not only meet each customer's specific needs but also significantly reduce liabilities. Their suite of offerings serves to protect patients, staff, and assets effectively.

In contrast, SRM Equity Partners operates out of its headquarters in Atlanta, GA, and Austin, TX, maintaining a sharp focus on lower-middle market companies across diverse sectors. Their strategy emphasizes sustainable growth, operational expertise, and a collaborative approach to unlocking a business's full potential. Both RF Technologies and SRM Equity Partners are now poised to embark on a promising journey as they redefine safety and security standards in healthcare and beyond.
