ARA Security has expanded its offerings to include safe deposit boxes and vault storage. As of August 2018, ARA Security acquired 100% of Australasian Vaulting Industries (AVI), a safe deposit and vault storage business based in Western Sydney.

AVI are expert in designing, building, and operating secure storage facilities. Their state-of-the-art, high-security vault in Bella Vista is purpose-built for the secure storage of gold and silver bullion, jewelry, heirlooms, Bitcoin, data, important documents, and other valuable items.

end-to-end solution

By integrating AVI’s secure storage facility with ARA’s Cash In Transit services, ARA Security can offer a complete, in-house solution for the secure transport, custody, and storage of valuables.

From a private vault and safe custody perspective, we are the first to market this offering with a uniquely tailored, end-to-end solution,” ARA Security’s Managing Director, Tony Franov, said of the acquisition.

Andrew Dalton said, “The service was customer-focused, the product was great quality and the staff was very knowledgeable. It made a lasting impression, which stood out from my experiences with other suppliers.” 

new opportunities

Andrew Dalton adds, “Joining the ARA Group will enable AVI to explore new opportunities and build upon the significant synergy between the businesses.

The ARA Group welcomes Andrew Dalton and Jennifer Dalton and the team at AVI Vaults. Together, they will be working on opening additional facilities for the convenience of clients and diversifying offerings to meet their needs.
