ManpowerGroup Acquires Reach HR

June 15, 2011 – ManpowerGroup, a provider of workforce solutions, has continued its expansion across China by acquiring REACH HR, a human resources provider in Guangdong Province and employer of more than 100,000 associates. REACH HR specializes in manufacturing human resources, and currently serves Guangdong's electrical appliance and logistical businesses. With this strategic anchor in Southern China, a long-time manufacturing base and home to the biannual China's largest trade event the Canton Fair, ManpowerGroup has solidified a foothold in the economic centers of Guangzhou and Shenzhen, which neighbor Hong Kong's extensive shipping operation. Darryl Green, ManpowerGroup president of Asia Pacific and Middle East, said: “As China faces some of the most significant change and challenges seen in decades, ManpowerGroup's own 17-year legacy in the country is quickly evolving into a nationwide provider of a full suite of innovative workforce solutions — from executive search and recruitment process outsourcing, to large volume recruitment and temporary staffing.”
