SPAR Group Wholly Owned Subsidiary Partners With Ergotron

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - SPAR Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:SGRP) ("we", the "Company" or "SPAR Group"), a leading supplier of retail merchandising and other marketing services throughout the United States and internationally, through its wholly owned subsidiary, SPAR National Assembly Services, Inc. ("NAS"), has announced a two-year partnership agreement with Ergotron to provide professional installation of its WorkFit(TM) sit-stand workstations in businesses and homes. Ergotron is NAS's 75th in-home and in-office assembly manufacturer.

"We are excited to partner with Ergotron in the growing field of sit-stand workstations. The health benefits associated with standing and movement at work are a great benefit to our mutual customers," Mike Florkowski, SVP of Operations and Business Development at SPAR Group, commented. "SPAR has invested in further innovations allowing retailer and eTailer/eCommerce customers to purchase their assembly services at the same time they buy their furniture online, right in their shopping cart. We continue to work with our retail and eCommerce partners to package the service on their websites to make it more enticing to the customer and show the value of a service that saves customers both time and money. We have our fingers on the pulse of a huge growth category with online service attachments."

"The link between customer satisfaction and proper installation is key, especially in regards to products like Ergotron's WorkFit sit-stand workstations, where a customer's personal adjustment potential is a primary selling point," said Josh Wilson, Director, Global Service Sales at Ergotron. "Connecting customers with industry leaders like SPAR National Assembly Services through Ergotron's WorkFit Integration or Fit Check Service Programs, we hope to exponentially increase customer enjoyment of the product, right out of the box."

NAS's proprietary assembly software allows in-home, in-store and in-office assembly purchase and scheduling directly through their manufacturing clients. This process allows customers to increase the level of service offerings while gaining additional revenue. With 1,200+ certified Technicians nationwide and 20+ years experience, NAS assembles all types of products including indoor furniture, outdoor furniture, grills, fitness equipment, cart corrals, and much more in customer's homes, offices and retail locations. Professional assembly saves time and money while decreasing costly damages caused by novice assemblies.
