VIENNA DESIGN WEEK 2011Having just launched its Shanghai office in October of last year, Minneapolis-based industrial design firm Worrell Inc. keeps things a-moving with a recent acquisition of Gad Shanaan Design's operations in both San Diego and Montreal.
The acquisition merges Worrell Inc.'s industrial design prowess with the engineering proficiencies of Gad Shaanan Design."These are both long-running companies," says President, Worrell Inc. - International Kai Worrell. "We know how this business works. The Gad Shaanan strengths - particularly their engineering sophistication- will fuel our current growth."
...Gad Shaanan, who founded Gad Shaanan Design twenty-five years ago, will remain active in the San Diego office following the acquisition. Shaanan and Worrell Inc. Founder Bob Worrell have been working closely for several months to ensure a seamless transition. "It's been great to watch Bob and Gad, two industry veterans, collaborating side by side," says Kai Worrell.

"The Gad Shaanan strengths - particularly their engineering sophistication" (?) Oh, please! Good indicator of where run-of-the-mill design consulting is headed. Go East young man!
