Mainstay buys ProTrades Connection

February 12, 2009

Mainstay Business Solutions, a Folsom CA-based staffing firm, announced its acquisition of ProTrades Connection, a San Jose CA-based industrial staffing firm with 15 offices. The deal took effect Jan. 1; terms were not announced.

The acquisition brings Mainstay's network of staffing locations in California to more than 80.

ProTrades provides staffing to the residential and commercial construction industries. Carmine Genovese of Mainstay said the company plans to focus the ProTrades offices more on other types of industrial staffing, such as warehouse staffing, although it will continue with its expertise in construction. ProTrades will take on the Mainstay brand.

Mainstay has predominantly been supplying staff through its affiliate network. Mainstay is owned by the Blue Lake Rancheria of Northern California.
