Decernis Expands to Germany to Serve European Market

Berlin (ots) - Specialized IT service and data provider Decernis
announced today its expansion to Germany in order to better serve its
growing number of clients across Europe. The US-based provider of
information systems and services tracks product safety compliance
issues worldwide. Germany Trade & Invest supported Decernis
throughout the investment process.

Headquartered in Washington, D.C., Decernis ( www.decernis.com )
tracks developments in more than 130 countries. Its clients include
governmental agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and the
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), in
addition to food and consumer product makers, raw material
manufacturers, laboratories and law firms. Decernis provides
information on global food, consumer, and industrial product safety
with clients in over forty-five countries. The company evaluated a
number of locations and chose its site in Frankfurt, Germany, due to
the proximity of current and potential customers as well as the
country's highly qualified workforce and legal framework that matched
up well with the company's requirements.

Andrew (Pat) Waldo, CEO of Decernis: "We reviewed a number of
possibilities in different countries and Germany gave us easy access
to our clients and provided us with outstanding workers and a stable
investment environment. All of these were key factors in our decision
to invest in a new subsidiary in Frankfurt." Decernis can now better
access Europe's largest market and benefit from Germany's robust
economy. With several large and small companies in the chemical and
food and beverage industries in Germany, its pool of potential
clients is vast.

The decision to invest in a German location is also a testament to
the country's reputation for efficiency and high quality, which is
critical for Decernis' activities. When a product recall occurs or a
change in applicable requirements is made, new information and alerts
must be provided throughout the supply chain to quickly identify and
trace affected products. Decernis provides suppliers and customers
with product information based on the company's flagship "gComply"
systems.

The company was supported by Germany Trade & Invest, HA - Economic
Development Corporation of Hessen and Frankfurt Economic Development
GmbH, who provided information on legal formation requirements, tax
structures, workforce policies and assistance with infrastructure to
facilitate the investment decision. Germany Trade & Invest is the
foreign trade and inward investment promotion agency of the Federal
Republic of Germany. The organization advises foreign companies
looking to expand their business activities in the German market. It
provides information on foreign trade to German companies that seek
to enter foreign markets.
