The Bartech Group, one of America's largest and fastest-growing staffing firms, continues to elevate the staffing industry to a higher level of thinking. Since our founding in 1977, many of the world's largest corporations think first and most prominently of the Bartech Group for high quality staffing services, human capital-related outsourced solutions, and IT Solutions.

We are one of the premier minority-owned companies in America, and our clients in the automotive, electric utility, health care and other industries have discovered the true value of our quality operating system.

We offer a higher level of staffing services in engineering; information technology; office professional and administrative staffing; and the on-site management of people, facilities and outsourced staffing management services. Headquartered in Livonia, Michigan, the Bartech Group today employs more than 4,000 associates. We maintain 20 offices in Michigan; Ohio; Indiana; Florida; and Ontario, Canada. Our annualized revenue is $200 million.

Among our most significant customers are Ford Motor Company, General Motors, DaimlerChrysler, Delphi, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, FPL Group, Progress Energy, and Michigan-based DTE Energy.

Our corporate culture was established by our founder, Chairman Emeritus John W. Barfield, in a business philosophy that he articulated in 1954 when he founded The Barfield Companies: "Always remember that our company was built on three principles: the quality of our services, being fair to our employees, and being good corporate citizens."

This philosophy has carried the Bartech Group to the highest level of staffing service quality. Bartech Technical Services has earned ISO 9001:2000 registration. In addition, we have been recognized by customers and industry observers with numerous quality awards, including Ford's Q1 Award, Minority Supplier of the Year designation by DTE Energy and General Motors, DaimlerChrysler's Gold Pentastar Quality Award, and Black Enterprise magazine's selection of the Bartech Group as Company of the Year.

Our wide-ranging expertise in meeting business needs for contract employment and managed services ranges from engineering and technical to office and administrative personnel. Our internal quality system, Striving Towards Excellence Process (S.T.E.P.), employs both a strategic and tactical planning approach to meeting our customers' staffing objectives incorporating documentation, reviews and assessments, and ongoing improvement plans. We then employ our Bartech Evaluation, Selection and Training (B.E.S.T.) process to match customer requirements to employee skill sets, experience and preferences. In this way, we recruit and place associates on assignments who bring the most appropriate experience, knowledge and dedication to each project.

Following are Bartech's six strategic priorities:

• Customer focus and satisfaction
• Employee satisfaction and development
• Service delivery quality
• Financial performance
• Continuous improvement
• Community service and corporate citizenship

The Bartech Group is a world-class organization that brings ever higher capabilities and standards to staffing and outsourced solutions for the world's most important businesses.
