"Closing our acquisition of Control Solutions is a threshold event for our company," stated Allan Hartley, Chief Executive Officer of Staffing 360 Solutions. "With a robust professional services business, and significant expertise in the risk management and consulting arena, CSI compliments Staffing 360's strategic growth plans. Closing this transaction helps demonstrate our ability to deliver accretive acquisitions from our pipeline that will not only expand our footprint, but also will enhance our margins."

"We are excited to be joining the team at Staffing 360 Solutions," stated Simon Dealy, President and CEO of Control Solutions International. "We believe our technical knowledge and practical experience in countries around the world represents a tremendous opportunity for Staffing 360 Solutions going forward. As we integrate and optimize our collective back office, our strategic plan is to continue to enhance our capabilities and broaden our offerings through both organic growth and additional synergistic acquisitions on a global scale."

Staffing 360 Solutions believes that a consolidation strategy is ideally suited for the highly fragmented temporary staffing industry, with an estimated 15,000 staffing companies generating less than $20 million in revenues in the United States alone. The management team has been engaged in the development of a comprehensive program to create a robust pipeline of prospective acquisitions. The Company's latest acquisition of CSI represents a key validator of this strategy's successful implementation.
