Gary Raymond, President and Chief Executive Officer of SPAR Group, stated, "It is no secret that China is one of the fastest growing economies and most promising markets for our marketing and specialty merchandising services. We have researched diligently to find a synergistic partner to maximize the value of our presence in China and are pleased to reach an agreement with Shanghai Wedone. We believe the team at Shanghai Wedone Marketing is the optimal partner to continue our growth in China."
Mr. Raymond continued, "Our strategy internationally has been to partner with companies that would benefit from our enhanced technology and expertise and combine that with an experienced local management team. Each subsidiary uses the same powerful proprietary U.S. based technology allowing logistics, communication and reporting, translated into their local language. This strategy remains in line with our objective to increase top line growth while improving our gross margins and profits. We see tremendous expansion potential not only in China, but in several other emerging market countries that we hope to take advantage of in the future."
