AS PART OF ITS CONTINUED WORLDWIDE EXPANSION,
GMAC GLOBAL RELOCATION SERVICES OPENS SERVICE CENTER IN SHANGHAI
Woodridge, Illinois (September 20, 2006) – As part of its continued global expansion, GMAC Global Relocation Services (www.gmacglobalrelocation.com) has opened a new global service center in Shanghai, China. In addition to the new Shanghai operations, GMAC Global Relocation Services now has eight global service centers. Other service centers are located in London, Singapore, California, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, and Texas.
“GMAC Global Relocation Services has established a strong identity and brand as a leader and expert in assignment management and our expansion into China will only serve to enhance our reputation and accelerate our global growth,” said Rick Schwartz, CEO, GMAC Global Relocation Services.
“Our global service center is located in Pudong, a quickly emerging financial hub whose growth has been nothing short of phenomenal,” Schwartz added.
Pudong is located on the east bank of the Hangpu River which runs through urban Shanghai. In 1990, the Chinese government selected the Pudong area to become the centre of a new financial, economic and trade area. Gross domestic product for the area has grown an average of 20% for each of the past eight years.
“Our new service center in Shanghai is an exciting development in the evolution of our ever-expanding global footprint,” said Maggie Ryan, senior vice president of Global Operations. “This expansion gives GMAC Global Relocation Services an important presence in a dynamic, vibrant and fast-growing Chinese market, and allows us to better serve our global client base.”
The opening of the Shanghai office extends the company’s presence in the Asia Pacific region and compliments its existing Global Service Center in Singapore. This expansion increases resources to support the company’s clients in China and provides a more equitable regional balance to the six Global Service Centers based in the Americas and EMEA. The Shanghai office will be managed by Victor Loo, regional director, Asia Pacific Region.
