Aerotek acquires PAC Group to expand industrial services
MICHIGAN, UNITED STATES — Aerotek Inc. acquired The PAC Group, a global engineering and management services firm operating across 19 countries, to expand its industrial services capabilities.
The deal also prompted Aerotek to launch two dedicated practice areas: a facilities management services practice and an automation, robotics, and installation services practice. No deal value was disclosed.
Aerotek adds engineering depth through PAC acquisition
Aerotek, a division of Allegis Group, serves more than 18,000 clients annually from over 200 offices across North America, delivering workforce and operational solutions in manufacturing, logistics, construction, and facilities maintenance.
The PAC Group, founded in 1985 and headquartered in Troy, Michigan, provides engineering and management services including intelligent automation, equipment installation, and construction management across 19 countries.
“Our customers continue to seek partners that can deliver holistic, outcome-driven solutions to move their businesses forward. Built on our long-standing partnership and complementary capabilities, bringing The PAC Group into Aerotek strengthens our services portfolio and expands the expertise we can deploy — helping customers improve performance while enabling our teams to deliver at greater scale,” said Tom Kelly, president of Aerotek.
PAC retains its brand and leadership post-transaction
The PAC Group will operate as an Aerotek company following the transaction, with co-founder and president Shah Firoozi continuing in his leadership role to preserve client relationships and institutional expertise.
Aerotek formalized two practice areas alongside the acquisition: a facilities management services practice and an automation, robotics, and installation services practice, both designed to serve clients managing increasingly complex industrial operations.
“The PAC Group has always been built on strong teams, trusted client relationships and technical excellence. Backed by Aerotek’s talent engine and geographic footprint, we can expand service delivery with current and new clients, accelerate innovation for customers and continue delivering measurable value worldwide,” said Shah Firoozi, co-founder and president of The PAC Group.
The acquisition reflects a broader shift among large United States staffing providers, which are expanding from contingent labor placement into managed services covering facility readiness, equipment installation, and ongoing maintenance for industrial clients.
Tony Bartolucci, senior vice president of Aerotek Services, attributed the new practices and acquisition to growing client demand for integrated outsourcing solutions covering technology investment, facility modernization, and asset performance within a single service relationship.
For the business process outsourcing (BPO) and industrial staffing sector, the PAC deal illustrates how mid-market engineering services firms are becoming attractive acquisition targets as large staffing organizations compete to deliver full operational lifecycle support.
