NEW YORK, Aug. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Savanta, the global intelligence business, today announces the acquisition of MSI International, a leading global strategic market research firm based in King of Prussia, PA with more than 30 years of experience in driving customized research solutions.
Following the acquisition, the Savanta Americas team will be home to over 100 employees and will bring the global business to 400 staff members. MSI will enhance Savanta's experience within healthcare, pharmaceutical, investment, insurance, IT/security and retirement. Their clients include a variety of Fortune 500 companies across the globe.
The management team will remain with the business and there will be no immediate changes to the day-to-day running of the company with Paul Strasser reporting directly into Vin DeRobertis, CEO Americas.
"We welcome the MSI team to Savanta with open arms," said DeRobertis. "We are excited to expand the footprint on the ground here to compliment the global business Savanta has built. We're joining together with a team of specialist consultants whose expertise and values fully aligns with ours, in helping our clients make better decisions."
Underpinned by the proposition to 'Make Better Decisions', Savanta was formed to re-engineer research to fuel faster, easier and more effective decision making for marketing and insight professionals.
"Today marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for MSI," said Strasser. "By joining forces with Savanta, we can strengthen our key values of Trust, Excellence and Teamwork. Not only is this exciting for our employees, but our clients too.
Working as part of Savanta allows us to bring a wider range of insight solutions to our clients because we believe that better research results in better decisions."
Savanta continues to grow both organically and through acquisition of leading market research businesses, overseen by the Savanta Invest division. In 2019, Savanta acquired Hase/Schannen Research Associates (HSR Associates), and the MSI International acquisition extends the company's expansion into the U.S. marketplace.
The acquisition was closed on August 8, 2021. Savanta MSI will be the new name for MSI, following the acquisition.

About MSI
Getting to know MSI starts with the same question we asked ourselves over 30 years ago: "There's got to be a better way to do market research, right? Fast forward 30+ years, and our history of innovation continues. But we're also smart enough to know that not all innovation comes in the form of technology (although it does help). Sometimes innovation is as simple as how we ask our questions. We know that asking the right questions, combined with unique approaches to analysis, provides our clients with the insight that they need to make them more competitive. We leave no stone unturned in providing insights to our clients. And in today's ever-changing world, unique approaches to business challenges have never been more important.
