Dave Currie founded Damar Security Systems in the early 1970’s with a vision of providing burglar alarm systems to the businesses in the Sarnia-Lambton County area of southwestern Ontario. Formerly employed by Bell Canada, Rogers’ Broadcasting and Canadian Motorola Electronics Dave brought a wealth of both technical and business skills to his new venture.
All along the way, Dave’s wife Marie has been the “lady behind the successful man” hence the company’s name is derived from Dave and Marie. Over the years the company has prospered and advanced under Dave’s leadership and is recognized as one of the largest independent and most technically progressive, full service electronic security service providers in Ontario.
