Chimera Integrations, a nationally recognized leader in security technology integration, is proud to announce the opening of its newest regional office located at 2510 Chili Avenue, Suite 1, Rochester, NY 14624. This expansion marks a strategic move to bring Chimera’s innovative, community-first approach to the entire Finger Lakes and Western New York region, supported by a deeply experienced local leadership team.

The Rochester team is led by Ken Laubacher, Sebastian Gimeli, and Jacob Rinck - three industry veterans who bring over 60 years of combined experience in security, project execution, and customer service.

“After 50 years of living and working in this community I’m excited to help build something meaningful here,” said Ken Laubacher, the new Regional Director. “We’re not just selling technology. We’re creating partnerships and designing safer environments where people can live, work, and learn.”

Sebastian Gimeli, Project Manager, brings a dual background of technical and industrial expertise, having spent 12 years in the security sector following an 18-year career with General Motors. A Rochester native and Sicily-born leader, Gimeli is widely regarded as a technical expert with certifications across industry-leading platforms. Known for solving the problems others can’t, his hands-on approach ensures that each system is engineered to exacting standards and delivered with seamless execution.

Jacob Rinck, Operations Manager, started in the field nearly 20 years ago as a technician and rose through the ranks into leadership. With extensive certifications in fire, intrusion, and access control technologies, Rinck has led customer support and service teams with a focus on accountability and building strong client relationships. His leadership style is rooted in his mantra: “Control the controllables” - fostering a culture of reliability and mutual respect.

With its Rochester office now fully operational, Chimera is actively hiring technicians and support staff to meet rising demand across the region. The company is also seeking additional key team members to join this growing branch, particularly individuals with a passion for community impact and technological innovation.

“This move is about more than just geography,” said Casey White, President and Founder of Chimera Integrations. “It’s about extending our community-first mindset to every project we take on. With local leaders Ken, Sebastian, and Jake at the helm, Rochester is in exceptionally capable hands.”

Chimera’s national recognition includes being named the 2024 SDM Systems Integrator of the Year and earning a place on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list for three consecutive years (2023-2025). The company attributes its growth to its foundational pillars: Employee Success, Customer Success, and Financial Success - all of which are embedded into its operations from top to bottom.

In true Chimera fashion, the Rochester team is already engaging with local organizations, schools, and civic groups to identify ways security technology can be used for social good. Whether it’s sponsoring educational programs, hiring local talent, or participating in neighborhood events, Chimera’s commitment to stewardship is not a side effort - it’s a core part of the company’s DNA.

“We’re excited to bring our people-first approach to security integration in Rochester,” said Casey White. “Our goal has always been simple: earn trust and make every community we serve stronger.”
