Omega Mediation Group companies take SIRO Clinpharm name

SIRO Clinpharm, a global Contract Research Organization (CRO) with a base in India, US, Europe and Israel had acquired Omega Mediation Group in April 2008 which now spearheads its Europe operations. SIRO recently announced that Omega Mediation Group companies in Germany, Greece, Romania, Estonia and Israel have now been renamed as SIRO Clinpharm. As part of SIRO's Omega integration agenda, the legal change of company name is a progressive post acquisition step taken by SIRO to establish a common identity across the group and a consistent interface to clients.

''The acquisition, besides opening up wider geographies for our clients has brought together a vast pool of talented resources which will ensure consistent delivery of our best capabilities to them', said Scott Spector, President Europe. 'With the official name change now complete we are glad to take charge of the baton from Volker and Sofia Hofmann, who started and headed Omega Mediation and supported us throughout the integration process over a period of last more than 20 months. This acquisition has been synergistic having brought together business strengths and organizational values of both SIRO and Omega. It has been going great until now and we have huge expectations from ourselves with strategies mapped out to ensure we expand in Europe further and grow as aggressively as we have been," said Chetan Tamhankar, Chief Executive Officer.
