Monday, 13 November 2006
infoUSA(R), provider of proprietary business and consumer databases, sales leads, direct marketing, and email marketing, today announced that it has acquired Rubin Response Services, Inc. of Schaumburg, Illinois.
Founded in 1974, Rubin Response is a premiere brand in the list brokerage and management business. The company plans to integrate Rubin Response's operations with those of its existing list management. List brokerage subsidiary, Walter Karl, will continue Rubin Response's current operations in the Chicago area.
Vin Gupta, Chairman and CEO of infoUSA, commented, "We are extremely pleased to welcome Rubin Response to the infoUSA family. The acquisition of Rubin Response gives us a significant presence in the Midwest market, and will compliment and expand our current blue chip list of list management and brokerage companies, like Walter Karl, Edith Roman, Millard Group and Mokrynskidirect. We have been able to combine our strengths in proprietary databases and e-mail technology with the existing customer solutions. The acquisition of Rubin Response is a continuation of infoUSA's strategy to consolidate the fragmented list brokerage and management industry, and offer a one-stop solution strategy."
