史密瑟斯·拉普拉(Smithers Rapra), UK subsidiary of the US-based independent testing, consulting and contract research organisation, The Smithers Group, expands its publications business to the US and launches its first publications distribution and sales centre.
自从Rapra Technology于2006年4月被Smithers Group从管理中收购以来,该公司的第一项重大盎格鲁 - US倡议中,该公司预计其美国销售中心成为美国行业和美洲学术界的技术聚合物信息资源的首要供应商。
“ We are very excited to open a new distribution and sales office for the Americas, it is a market that we expect will be an important part of our overall growth strategy going forward,” said Smithers Rapra’s Managing Director, Jim Dowey.
Smithers Rapra出版物销售中心将利用该品牌的实力以及其母公司Smithers Group的既定基础设施,支持网络,设施和其他资产。领先的中心是新任命的出版商杰克·巴希安(Jack Bashian)。巴希安(Bashian)将在俄亥俄州阿克伦(Akron)的Smithers Group总监办事处,将负责日常运营,业务开发,市场营销和销售活动。
“Smithers Rapra publications are already a well established brand in the UK and Europe. In the US and the Americas, we have identified a huge gap in the availability of quality polymer related information products.
“通过在该市场建立专门的分销和销售中心,这意味着我们可以直接向美国客户提供出版物,并确保我们继续扩展和开发满足他们需求的头衔。我们的目标是成为学术和企业市场的聚合物相关技术书籍,实用指南,期刊和数字产品的全球领先供应商。美国的目标是该目标的关键市场。”巴希安先生说。
该公司英国信息集团总监Carole Lee在评论新媒体的发布时说:“我们对聚合物出版物的方法是独一无二的。我们的业务已经从对聚合物作为技术服务和咨询公司的领先提供商的知识中发展。我们作为咨询活动的经历可以迅速转化为务实的实用信息产品,涵盖关键行业问题,而不是纯粹的学术技术。透明
