Marathon Building Environments has purchased August Systems, a home electronics company, from Bridgid Miller. Marathon owners Frank Sovich and Greg Wolff said Miller will operate the business under the same name as a division of Marathon.
Miller, who co-founded the company 14 years ago, said she and her three employees will move out of the current location on East Nifong Street in the Peachtree shopping area and work at the Marathon building on Paris Road later this month. They sell audio, video, security and climate control products and are best known for installing sophisticated home theater systems. At Marathon, they will expand into commercial sound and video applications.
August Systems does not provide the renovating and furnishings involved in setting up entertainment systems, which Marathon does. And Marathon’s business and residential clients have been asking for a wider variety of services such as audio-visual system installation.
In January, Marathon made a similar complementary move by buying Pioneer Window Works from Larry Schuster, who now runs the division at Marathon.
