GMI Opens in Frankfurt

Kantar-owned research technology and panels firm GMI (Global Market Insite) has opened a new office in Frankfurt, and appointed Key Account Director Norman-René Schwalme to lead it.

Founded in 1999 in Bellevue, WA, GMI was acquired by WPP's Kantar in 2011, and was then merged with online specialist Lightspeed Research. The company has operations in America, Asia Pacific and Europe - including established German offices in Munich and Hamburg.

Schwalme (pictured) joins GMI from IDC Central Europe with more than fifteen years' market research experience.

Leon de Koning, GMI's MD, NCEE, comments: 'We have seen strong growth in the German market and having an additional office based in Frankfurt emphasizes our commitment to expanding local sales and service in this important region. I am also delighted to welcome Norman to our business as his extensive experience and positive attitude is going to be a great addition to our team.'
