Six service centers.
Every state assigned to one.
Each center runs its own full-time crews and owns a defined territory. Select a center to see the states it covers and how far the crew travels.
Philadelphia, PA
The original Kelly location and the largest crew base, operating here since 1985. Covers New England, the Mid-Atlantic and Ohio, including the paper, corrugated and food plants concentrated across Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Ohio.
Shading shows distance from the nearest crew base, not whether a plant is covered. Crews cross between centers for large or multi-site programs; wherever your facility is, we will tell you which crew is closest.

Practical notes from Kelly crews on dust, downtime, coatings and compliance across plant types.
Read the blogTell us about the facility.
We'll tell you straight.
A specialist reviews every request, not a call center. If it is not Kelly work, we will say so and point you in the right direction.
Requests reach a Kelly specialist who knows the work, the standards, and which crew is closest.
Tell us the shutdown window and we will tell you whether a crew can hold it before anything is quoted.
What plant managers ask first.
Do you use subcontractors?
No. Every crew member is a full-time Kelly employee. That is a deliberate choice about accountability: the people who walk your floor are trained, badged and insured by us, and the crew that quotes the job is the crew that shows up. It is also why we turn down work we cannot staff properly.
Is your combustible dust cleaning NFPA compliant?
Yes. Combustible dust cleaning is performed to NFPA 654 and 664 standards, with documentation you can put in front of an inspector or an insurer. If you have an open finding, send us the report and we will tell you what closing it actually involves.
Do you actually work nationwide?
Yes, through six service centers: Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Jackson in Tennessee, and the Los Angeles area. Each one serves the plants within roughly a day's drive, and crews cross between centers for large or multi-site programs. If you are between two centers, we will tell you which crew is closest.
How fast can a crew be on site?
It depends on the center and the scope, which is why we will not put a number on it here. Call with your dates and the facility location and you will get a straight answer on the timeline, not a sales pitch.
What does a first conversation involve?
A specialist asks about the facility, the environment, the standards you are held to and the window you are working with. If Kelly is the right fit you get a scope and a number. If it is not our work, we will say so.
Send the specs. We'll tell you if it's Kelly work.
Forty years of doing the hard things well, with the crew to back it up.
