Eastridge Workforce Solutions, a San Diego, Calif.-based staffing firm, acquired Operon Resource Management, a medical device recruitment solutions provider.

Operon, headquartered in Lowell, Mass., provides temporary labor and workforce solutions for healthcare product manufacturers, including medical device and pharmaceutical companies. It has a physical office in the greater Boston area with multiple onsite locations in New England. The company counts about $10 million in annual revenue.

The transaction closed Sept. 10; terms were not disclosed. The Operon brand will remain for the near future, but will eventually integrate into Eastridge’s brand structure. Seth Stein, Eastridge’s president of workforce recruitment, will be responsible for the ongoing integration and management of Operon.

The management team at Operon is staying in place. Steve Sawin, former president and CEO of Operon Resource Management, is now a senior VP at Eastridge, focusing on business development for the medtech sector. Whitney Andrews, former general manager at Operon, was promoted to VP and is responsible for Operon’s day-to-day management.

“Operon has significantly increased our value proposition to the medical device sector,” Stein said. Both companies’ clients will be able to receive more integrated solutions and simplify their talent acquisition and management process.”

Eastridge provides workforce management programs, technology platforms and staffing solutions. Targeted sectors include industrial and office/clerical. It ranks No. 82 on Staffing Industry Analysts list of largest staffing firms in the US.
