We have developed innovative solutions within our portfolio companies, leveraging complimentary capabilities and service offerings across our light industrial staffing and contract manufacturing businesses.

We began focusing on light industrial staffing after running a manufacturing company and struggling for years to find high-quality staffing partners and shop floor labor. We have a vision for a different kind of staffing company - one that balances the needs of our manufacturing and distribution clients with the career objectives of our employees.

Engauge Workforce Solutions is our staffing platform. We are actively seeking growth opportunities through strategic acquisitions of like-minded companies who also believe there is a “better way” to approach light industrial staffing.

We believe we offer a compelling opportunity for founders looking to retire and place their legacy in good hands, or for owner-operators looking to partner with a team who brings deep expertise and capabilities to help them scale while meeting the challenges of today’s disruptive environment.

The 6th Avenue Group team is composed of a diverse group of manufacturing industry veterans. From the C-Suite to production supervisors, quality leads to production engineers, our team has worked in all aspects of manufacturing. As a result, we understand both the joys and the frustrations of running a manufacturing facility. One of the challenges we all experienced was the inefficiency and volatility of secondary operations or those projects / product lines that didn’t fit the core company expertise.

This led us to launch RELY, our contract manufacturing platform. RELY takes the problem jobs and non-core programs off of our customers’ shopfloors to allow them to focus on what they are really good at. We have created a sophisticated, state-of-the-art contract manufacturing and packaging facility that can handle a high mix of different types of businesses and volumes. Driven by robust KPI’s and varying degrees of automation, we have created a more stable and highly efficient work environment. We have intentionally focused on becoming experts in areas where most manufacturers are weakest.

RELY is proudly ISO 9001 certified from American Systems Registrar. This achievement reflects our commitment to quality management systems, bolstering operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. RELY is actively seeking growth opportunities, either through acquisitions or strategic partnerships.
