Peoplelink acquires Texas staffing firm

December 09, 2013

Peoplelink Staffing Solutions acquired MEP Inc., a Dallas-based skilled trades staffing provider. MEP counts locations in Dallas, Houston and Austin, Texas, as well as Phoenix, and the acquisition expands Peoplelink’s construction trades brand.

The transaction closed today and terms were not disclosed.

The MEP brand will remain, and its executives will remain with the company.

“MEP is a strong player in the trades staffing market and their business model will complement the Peoplelink profit center operating model,” said W. “Jay” Wilkinson, Peoplelink’s president and CEO. “This acquisition will improve our footprint in the South Central region of the U.S., and will provide for additional growth in the trades specialty niche.”

Peoplelink ranks 28th on Staffing Industry Analysts 2012 list of largest industrial staffing firms in the United States with $121 million in U.S. staffing revenue.
