What is the MSCA?

The MSCA is a trade association of companies that are actively and currently engaged in the business of installing and/or servicing or supplying “electronic systems”. Established in 1978 as the Massachusetts Security Contractors Association, the name changed to Massachusetts Burglar & Fire Alarm Association in 1991. On January 15, 2003, we became the Massachusetts Systems Contractors Association, lnc. We now have a membership of more than 130 companies.

Who are the members of the MSCA?

The membership consists of companies that are all active in some aspect of the installation, service, maintenance, monitoring, distribution or manufacture of systems and equipment. Their sizes range from large national companies to individual proprietorships.
