MásLabor has merged with AgWorks to expand H-2A and H-2B employer service offerings and allow clients to employ over 60,000 foreign workers.

MásLabor, Charlottesville, Virginia, a provider of services for employers participating in the H-2A and H-2B nonimmigrant visa programs, has merged with AgWorks H2 LLC, Lake Park, Georgia, a H-2A and H-2B consulting firm.

“AgWorks has a proven success model, with a deep compliance focus and highly knowledgeable leadership,” says MásLabor CEO Edward Silva, who purchased MásLabor in July 2021. “But as we and the market continue to evolve and grow, there are clear benefits to integration, shared systems and knowledge and more active collaboration.”

Together, MásLabor and AgWorks obtain approvals for their clients to employ more than 60,000 foreign workers per year. This gives the companies insight into issues faced by clients in every geography and industry.

“Together, we have a detailed view of the labor market for the entire country as it relates to H-2 workers, across nearly every industry,” says Dan Bremer, president of AgWorks, who will remain in a leadership role to both MásLabor and AgWorks. “We know the challenges, the opportunities, and we have best-in-class solutions.”

Under the new structure, AgWorks will expand its service offerings to align with those offered by MásLabor, including assistance with domestic job applicants, comprehensive audit services and other visa categories. The companies will also consolidate their compliance teams to provide clients with expertise and best practices. Finally, integration also comes with a significant investment in technology to provide clients with a more efficient and effective process throughout.

“Our core mission is saving American businesses, full stop,” says Silva. “We are thrilled to join with the AgWorks team in this mission and their decades of experience.”
