Elwood Staffing expands with York acquisition

July 29, 2015

Commercial staffing provider The York Companies Inc. was acquired by Elwood Staffing. The buy marks the fourth acquisition in two years for Elwood, which ranks as the 19th-largest US staffing firm.

Elwood announced the acquisition today.

The deal gives Elwood two York offices in Kentucky — Louisville and Shepherdsville — and a York office in Murfreesboro, Tenn. Elwood’s Clarksville, Ind., office will take over the client base now served by York’s Jeffersonville, Ind., office.

Terms of the transaction were not announced. However, the deal will boost Elwood’s daily total employment of contingent workers in the Louisville and Murfreesboro markets to approximately 1,100.

“The Elwood family has known the Hester family for more than a decade,” said Elwood CEO Mark Elwood. “They’ve done a wonderful job growing their business and helping job seekers pursue their full potential, and we’re happy to continue that work as they move on to explore other interests.”

Plans call for York’s offices to take on the Elwood Staffing brand with completion expected in a few short weeks.

Elwood has more than 250 service locations throughout 31 states and Canada. It employs nearly 29,000 temporary associates daily.
