The company adapts operating strategies to achieve this objective.

The company’s strategies promote a full life cycle solution capability to its customers; promote its internal growth strategies, which it designed to better serve the company’s customers, and generate higher revenue; and be highly fragmented, and the company plans to continue to selectively assess opportunities to make strategic acquisitions as such opportunities are presented to the company.

The company’s Specialty Health Care Group specializes in long-term and short-term staffing of medical professionals, as well as executive search, international recruitment, and placement solutions for many of the largest healthcare institutions and school districts across the United States.

Process & Industrial Services: Provides engineering services to the industrial, chemical, commercial, and oil and gas industries in the United States, Europe, and Canada. With many companies in the chemical industry reprioritizing spending towards decarbonization technologies, many U.S. chemical companies are expected to place an emphasis on renewable feedstocks and new carbon recycling technologies.

International Operations
The company operates its international business in Canada, Germany, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Serbia. The company’s operations in Serbia could be adversely affected by the current conflict between Ukraine and Russia, with which Serbia has substantial ties.
From the company’s headquarters locations in New Jersey, the company provides its branch offices with centralized administrative, marketing, finance, MIS, human resources, and legal support.

Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing efforts are conducted at the local and national level through the company’s network of branch offices. Business development and sales activities and productivity are tracked, and rankings established and published. Sales between business units are recognized and financially encouraged. The company emphasizes long-term relationships and partnerships with customers that are developed through regular assessment of customer requirements and proactive monitoring of service performance. The company’s sales and account management personnel make regular visits to existing and prospective customers. New customers are obtained through active sales programs and referrals.

The company serves Fortune 1000 companies and many middle-market clients, competing on a national and global scale. The company’s relationships with these customers are typically formed at the customers’ local or regional level and, from time to time, when appropriate, at the corporate level for national accounts.
Key Customers
The company’s emphasis on client retention has resulted in repeat business from many of its largest strategic accounts. During the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, the company had two customers exceed 10% of consolidated revenue, representing 19.5% and 14.1% of consolidated revenue. The company’s five, ten, and twenty largest customers accounted for approximately 48.5%, 60.1%, and 70.6%, respectively, of the company’s revenue for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024.
One of the largest customers in the company’s Specialty Health Care group, the New York City Department of Education, significantly reduces activity during the third quarter when schools are closed for summer recess.
Seasonality
The company generally experiences an increase in its cost of sales and a corresponding decrease in gross profit and gross margin percentage in the first and second fiscal quarters of each year (year ended December 28, 2024) as a result of resetting certain state and federal employment tax rates and related salary limitations. Also, the company’s Specialty Health Care segment typically experiences a significant decline in revenue due to the substantial closure of one of its largest customers, the New York City Department of Education, and other educational institution clients during the third quarter due to their summer recess.
Intellectual Property
The company endeavors to protect its intellectual property rights and maintain certain trademarks, trade names, service marks, and other intellectual property rights, including The Source of Smart Solutions and Industries of Tomorrow, today, with a trademark application submitted for the use of the latter.
