Decton acquires Cal-West Personnel

Decton Inc. acquired Cal-West Personnel Inc., a Fullerton, Calif.-based staffing agency. The transaction closed Sept. 6 and terms were not disclosed. Both firms target the healthcare, bio-tech, general technical, light industrial, hospitality, construction, clerical and retail industries.

“We can reinforce what they are already doing because their segments are parallel to our segments so there’s a lot of support,” said Decton Marketing Director William Sanford.

Cal-West Personnel President and CEO Marilyn Richards will continue to lead the Cal-West operations, which include one office location and eight to 10 employees. The company will eventually take on the Decton brand.

Decton has been in an acquisition mode lately, adding Clinical Staffing Services in August and AllStar Staffing in July.

Decton has locations in Southern California, Phoenix and Las Vegas.
