آرثر دي ليتل تعلن عن الإتمام الناجح للاستحواذ عليها من قبل المديرين

باريس - يوم الإثنين 2 يناير 2012 [ME NewsWire]

(بزنيس واير): أعلنت "آرثر دي ليتل" اليوم أنها أتمت وبنجاح صفقة الاستحواذ مع شركة "ألتران تكنولوجيز" وذلك في 30 ديسمبر 2011. وعادت شركة الاستشارات الإدارية الأولى على مستوى العالم في الذكرى المائة والخامسة والعشرين على تأسيسها مجدداً إلى كونها شركة عالمية خاصة من خلال استحواذ الشركاء الآن على 100 بالمائة من أسهمها. وتضمنت الصفقة جميع مكاتبها حول العالم إضافة إلى العلامة الفاخرة "آرثر دي ليتل".

ومنذ أن أعلنت "ألتران" في الثاني من نوفمبر عن دخولها في مفاوضات حصرية للاستحواذ أدت إلى بيع "آرثر دي ليتل" إلى شركائها، فإن الشركة كانت تقوم بشكل فاعل وناجح بالتحضير للشراكة العالمية الخاصة المستقلة. كما أن الالتزامات المالية المطلوبة من الشركاء كانت قد تجاوزت حد الاكتتاب، وستقوم "ألتران تكنولوجيز" بتمويل عمليات البيع لدعم تطوير الشركة خلال الأشهر والأعوام المقبلة.

وستتم إدارة الشركة من قبل إجناسيو جارسيا ألفيس، الرئيس التنفيذي العالمي المنتخب حديثاً، والذي ترأس الفريق الذي أشرف على إتمام عملية الاستحواذ على "آرثر دي ليتل" بنجاح من قبل شركائها.

وقال إجناسيو جارسيا ألفيس، الرئيس التنفيذي العالمي الجديد في هذا السياق: "أتشرف بهذه الثقة التي منحني إياها الشركاء، وإنني متشوق لقيادة هذه الشركة نحو المرحلة المقبلة من تاريخها الحافل. إن هدفنا من عملية الاستحواذ هذه ينطوي على نقطتين رئيسيتين، حيث تتمثل الأولى في وضع مصير وإدارة الشركة بين أيدي الشركاء مرة أخرى، أما الثانية فتركز على تسريع النمو عبر استقطاب المواهب أو جمع الشركات الصغيرة ضمن القطاعات والأعمال والدول المستهدفة".

وستقوم "آرثر دي ليتل" من خلال موقعها الجديد بالتركيز على نزعتها التاريخية للإبداع، حيث ستقدم عروض القيمة الفريدة المتميزة لاستراتيجيات بناء العلاقات والإبداع والتقنية. وتعتبر عروض القيمة ضمن الاقتصاد العالمي الراهن الطريقة الوحيدة التي يمكن من خلالها للشركات والدول أن تحسن التنافسية المستدامة. ويعتبر هذا الأمر صحيحاً في أوروبا والولايات المتحدة الأمريكية حيث يكون الطلب كبيراً على منصات النمو الجديدة، كما أنه صحيح بالنسبة للاقتصادات التي تنمو بسرعة مثل دول مجموعة ’بريك‘ التي تسعى إلى المضي قدماً واللحاق بركب المنتجات والخدمات المبتكرة ذات القيمة المضافة.

هذا وستواصل "آرثر دي ليتل" إطلاق مختبرات الإبداع الجديدة الخاصة بها والتي تبحث في أعداد لا تحصى من الصيحات المستقبلية عبر توجهات متعددة الاختصاصات. وكان قد قام أول مختبر من هذا النوع بنشر تقرير بحثي حول مستقبل الحركية المدنية، والذي حظي بالإشادة على نطاق واسع.

لمحة عن آرثر دي ليتل

تأسست "آرثر دي ليتل" عام 1986 لتكون شركة الاستشارات الأولى على مستوى العالم، حيث قامت وباستمرار بتحقيق تحولات في فكر وممارسات الأعمال من خلال تطبيق خبراتها في مجالات الإستراتيجيات والتقنيات والإبداعات. وتقوم "آرثر دي ليتل" اليوم بمساعدة الشركات على تحقيق النمو، والتغلب على التحديات الإستراتيجية، وتحسين قدراتها الإبداعية، وزيادة الفاعلية والتنافسية في سوق يتسم بالعولمة. وتمتلك الشركة موطئ قدم في 20 بلد عبر شبكة تضم أكثر من ألف شخص.

Welch Allyn President & CEO Announces Intention to Retire

Julie Shimer Will Retire from Welch Allyn at the End of 2012, Allowing Time for a Successor to Be Named and a Smooth Transition over the Course of the Next Several Months


SKANEATELES FALLS, N.Y. - Wednesday, January 4th 2012 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Welch Allyn, a leading manufacturer of frontline medical products and solutions, announced today that Julie Shimer, president & CEO of the company for the past five years, has announced her intention to retire at the end of this year.

“After a long and fulfilling career that has lasted more than 30 years and offered the opportunity to work for wonderful companies in a number of different capacities , I am looking forward to retirement and the opportunity to spend more time with family,” Shimer said.

Shimer’s career at Welch Allyn began in 2002 when she joined the Welch Allyn board of directors. In 2007, that board asked her to become president and CEO. She is widely credited with developing the visionary “platform strategy” for Welch Allyn products and services, which led to a slate of solutions that enable healthcare professionals to access and manage patient data real time--ultimately allowing for more effective and efficient patient care.

“Julie’s vision and strategy for our company and our products was a game-changer for our customers and Welch Allyn. She embraced the challenge of continuous innovation which started with my great-grandfather, William Noah Allyn, and continued through four generations of our family. The shareholders and the Board of Directors are extremely grateful for Julie’s dedication to this strategy, and our company is well-positioned for the future because of it,” stated Eric Allyn, a member of the Board of Directors.

“I am extremely proud of all we have accomplished together in my 10 year association with this fine company, and I look forward to redoubling our efforts in 2012 to make sure we continue to provide the best solutions for our customers that are made by the best workforce in the world,” stated Shimer.

Shimer was named president and CEO of Welch Allyn in 2007 – becoming the first woman to hold this post in the 95-year history of the company. In her first two years at the company, Welch Allyn won “Best Places to Work™” accolades in Ireland and Mexico, and broke ground on a $30 million expansion project at its global headquarters in Skaneateles Falls, N.Y.

Prior to joining Welch Allyn, Shimer served as president and CEO of Vocera Communications, a leading wireless communications company based in Cupertino, California. She also held executive positions at 3Com Corporation, Motorola, AT&T Bell Laboratories.

In March of 2011 Governor Andrew Cuomo appointed Shimer the chairperson for New York's Empire State Development Corporation. Shimer currently holds board positions with Welch Allyn, Netgear and CenterState Corporation for Economic Opportunity. She is actively involved in programs that encourage women to enter engineering fields and is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and Society for Women Engineers.

“Julie’s passion for innovation and technology has served the company well and will continue to be her legacy long after she retires,” said Jim Crook, Chairman of the Welch Allyn Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has appointed a search committee and hired an outside executive search firm to assist in securing the new CEO. This search will include internal and external candidates and Julie’s timing will allow for a smooth and successful transition,” stated Crook.

Leading construction products supplier is a Gold Sponsor of the GCC Industrialists Conference and Exhibition to be held in Riyadh later this month

Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Monday, January 2nd 2012 [ME NewsWire]

The GCC’s drive towards more advanced industrial know-how and technologies is set to receive a major impetus in the New Year as industrial leaders and technology manufacturers from around the world gather in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the 13th GCC Industrialists Conference and Exhibition.

Construction Products Holding Company (CPC), one of the region’s leading suppliers of construction products, has signed up as Gold Sponsor of the conference and exhibition, which will be held from January 17-19, 2012 under the auspices of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques.

Themed "Knowledge-based Industries and New Technologies", the conference is being organized at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center by the Secretariat of the Gulf Cooperation Council in collaboration with the Saudi Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Council of Saudi Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Saudi Industrial Property Authority (MODON), and Federation of GCC Chambers.

“The conference aims to promote the transformation of GCC countries towards knowledge-based industrial production by highlighting the basic requirements needed and demonstrating examples of appropriate applications and models of successful knowledge-based experiments by some countries,” said Dr. Faysal Alaquil, Director of Business Development and official spokesman for CPC. “International industrial companies in the field will have an opportunity to exhibit their products at the accompanying exhibition.”

“CPC supports such major industrial activities in the Gulf in view of our 2012 expansion plans and the region’s drive to increase industrial investment,” Dr. Alaquil added.

Based in Jeddah with branches in Riyadh, Bahra, Abu Dhabi, Cairo, Doha, and soon in Algeria, CPC works mainly in the area of production and installation of basic construction materials such as steel, marble, granite, pre-fabricated pre-casting concrete, glass, adhesives, electrical cables, aluminum and electromechanical, wooden and finished works, all of which are supported by its own company specialized in transportation and logistic services.
