Tang & Co., a Torrance, California-based supplier of occupational health, employee screening and workforce training solutions, has acquired CanQualify LLC of Lehi. CanQualify is a platform specializing in supplier prequalification and risk management.
Tang & Co. said the acquisition strengthens its portfolio by integrating CanQualify’s expertise in verifying contractor and vendor compliance, empowering clients to build safer, more efficient supply chains.
CanQualify’s web-based platform, which connects hiring clients with pre-qualified suppliers while mitigating risks related to safety, sustainability, insurance and regulatory compliance, will continue to operate independently under the new owners. This structure preserves CanQualify’s specialized focus while providing access to advanced tools for auditing safety manuals, validating employee training and streamlining procurement processes, reducing administrative burdens and lowering overall operational costs, Tang & Co. said.
“Since our inception, we’ve been committed to making supplier prequalification simpler and more effective,” said Aaron Harker, founder of CanQualify. “Joining Tang & Co. opens new opportunities to scale our impact, leveraging their proven infrastructure to deliver even greater value to our shared customers. We’re excited about the synergies that will elevate safety standards across supply chains nationwide.”
“For over 45 years, Tang & Co. has been committed to caring for people and helping organizations create healthier, safer and more-compliant workplaces,” said Brian Tang, co-chair of the board at Tang & Co. “Acquiring CanQualify represents a pivotal step in our evolution, combining our occupational health services with cutting-edge supplier management technology. Together, we’re fostering a positive safety culture, one that not only helps prevent incidents but also strengthens compliance, builds trust across the supply chain and enhances overall business resilience.”
Founded in 2015, CanQualify is a partner for industries reliant on third-party contractors, including construction, manufacturing and energy. By automating data collection for safety programs, financials and employee assessments, the platform has helped clients save time and resources while improving safety cultures through proactive risk identification.
