Kelly Services® Expands Engineering Footprint with the Acquisitions of Global Technology Associates, LLC and NextGen Global ...
08 Janvier 2019 - 1:30PM
Kelly Services today announced two acquisitions: Global Technology
Associates, LLC (GTA), a leading provider of engineering,
technology and business consulting solutions and services in the
telecommunication industry; and NextGen Global Resources, LLC
(NextGen), a leading provider of telecommunications, wireless and
connected technology staffing solutions in the U.S. Both companies
provide services to the largest carriers and OEMs in the
telecommunication industry, and the acquisitions position Kelly as
one of the largest engineering workforce solutions companies in the
fast-growing 5G technology space.
Terms of the acquisitions, which were effective at the start of
the new year, were not disclosed. GTA and NextGen will continue to
operate under their own brands.
“Acquiring NextGen and GTA represent forward-looking investments
in a relatively untapped specialty market that’s primed for
growth,” said George Corona, president and chief executive officer
of Kelly Services. “Kelly is committed to being a specialty talent
solutions and outcome-based services provider, and both firms are
deeply specialized, bringing together impressive pools of talented
engineers with strong technical, telecom and 5G expertise. Equally
important, our businesses’ core missions and values align: we are
all companies that put people at the heart of all we do, and we
take integrity and service excellence seriously.”
The acquisitions expand Kelly’s presence in a niche engineering
market, where there is tremendous room for growth:
telecommunication industry analysts say $500 billion will be spent
between now and 2025 preparing for the onset of 5G technology. Both
GTA and NextGen are positioned to capitalize on that growth.
Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, GTA provides
telecommunication network design, implementation, testing,
optimization and software development services to its portfolio of
clients.
“We are very excited to start a new chapter for GTA, as part of
the Kelly team. Kelly’s commitment to its employees and customers
echoes GTA’s and was the spark that led us to join forces,” said
Farzad Ghassemi, founder and chairman of GTA. “Now, with Kelly’s
brand recognition and size behind GTA’s technical prowess and
industry knowledge, we are prepared to tackle the coming 5G and
other advanced technologies’ demand for our engineering solutions
and services in the telecommunications industry. Together with
Kelly, we are better equipped to support our customers’ needs and
help build future 5G and beyond, wireless networks by providing the
highest quality of engineering solutions and services that they
have come to expect from us.”
With offices in Chicago, Philadelphia, San Diego and Nashville,
NextGen is a leading supplier to Fortune 500 companies providing
telecommunications, wireless and connected technology staffing
solutions.
“NextGen recognizes the amazing growth potential of the telecom,
wireless and connected technology space, which is driving the
future of technology advancement,” said Amy Moreno, president of
NextGen. “Our team has consistently leveraged long-term
relationships with both clients and candidates to solidify our
place as a market leader of strategic staffing solutions. We’re
excited to be part of the Kelly family and are confident that with
Kelly’s global brand and experience as a pioneer within the
staffing solutions sector, our team will continue to flourish and
build on the level of excellence to which our clients have grown
accustomed.”
Companies and talent both stand to benefit from the
acquisitions. “Innovative technologies, combined with new ways of
doing business, are creating different opportunities in today’s
workplace,” Corona observed. “Kelly’s legacy is built on our
ability to anticipate what’s next for job seekers and companies and
proactively advise them—and the GTA and NextGen acquisitions
position us to do just that.”
