Construction Labor Contractors acquires Skilled Labor Solutions

June 21, 2016

Construction Labor Contractors LLC, a provider of temporary staffing of skilled tradesmen for the commercial construction market and a portfolio company of Silver Oak Services Partners LLC, acquired Skilled Labor Solutions Inc.

Skilled Labor Solutions provides electricians and other skilled tradesmen to the commercial construction market in the Baltimore and Washington DC markets. It’s based in Reisterstown, Md., a Baltimore suburb.

“We are very excited to add SLS into our organization,” Construction Labor Contractors CEO Brad Chesin said. “The business has a great reputation in the industry, has demonstrated great growth and brings additional organizational talent to CLC. In addition, this partnership will significantly strengthen our presence on the East Coast and we look forward to working with the SLS team to continue to grow the business.”

The transaction closed June 6; terms were not disclosed. Skilled Labor Solutions now operates under the Construction Labor Contractors brand. Owner Keith Herion is retiring, but Construction Labor Contractors retained the staff.

Construction Labor Contractors is based in Richfield, Ohio, a Cleveland suburb, and operates 17 offices in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and Southwest regions.

CLS is pursuing additional acquisitions of skilled-trades staffing companies. “We are in heavy growth mode, both organically and in acquisitions,” Chesin said.
