AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - SPAR Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGRP), a global merchandising and marketing services provider, has announced the sale of its ownership interest in its joint venture SPAR China, based in Shanghai. The financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.

The move comes as part of the company's strategy to streamline its operations and financial structure. According to Mike Matacunas, President and CEO of SPAR Group, the decision aligns with the company's effort to concentrate on its primary business segments, which have shown significant growth in recent years.
