September 29, 2016

The Onin Group acquired Universal Labor & Staffing, a Dallas-based industrial staffing provider. The deal closed Tuesday.

“Onin has focused on attracting, developing and retaining top talent, and we know the acquisition of Universal Labor & Staffing will expand our service capabilities,” said Jim Weaver, chief operating officer of The Onin Group. “Both companies share a similar culture and values, so we are proud to incorporate the excellent reputation of Universal Labor & Staffing with Onin’s brand.”

Universal Labor & Staffing was led by its president, Clif Baker, who will be opening a new Miami-based Onin Staffing office following this sale.

“Over the last 10 years, I have built my company on a foundation of trust, integrity, taking care of our teammates and focusing on our customer needs,” Baker said. “I believe we share these same values and philosophies with Onin.”

The Onin Group is based in Birmingham, Ala., and ranks on Staffing Industry Analysts’ list of fastest-growing staffing firms.
