Survey Sampling International (SSI) is On the Move
First-class Connecticut setting is new home to premier sampling solutions provider

FAIRFIELD, Connecticut, September 3, 2008 – Survey Sampling International (SSI), the premier online and telephone sampling solutions provider to marketing researchers, is announcing its move to new global headquarters. International Place, at 6 Research Drive in Shelton, Connecticut, will provide an expansive, client- and employee-friendly environment to accommodate the company’s growth.

“Since I joined SSI 20 months ago,” relates Jim Follett, chief executive officer, “we’ve added five offices in five countries, and our employee base has grown by 60%. As the number-one sampling solutions provider for researchers across a range of industries, we’re obsessive about client service. Upgrading our facilities enables our employees to focus on what they do best – providing innovative solutions and superior sampling to our more than 1,800 clients worldwide.”

SSI has, at present, 15 offices in 13 countries. Nearly half the company’s 400 employees are in Connecticut. SSI’s headquarters have been located in Connecticut since 1977 – first in Westport and then in Fairfield for 21 years.

“Connecticut is still the right fit for SSI," Follett notes. "We’re just 60 minutes from New York City and our employees enjoy a wonderful choice between metropolitan, suburban, or country settings. It’s both a great place to start out as a young person and to raise a family.”

"SSI focuses on satisfying three groups of people: our clients, our respondents – the people who take surveys, and our employees,” Follett explains. “With this move, we are making a significant investment in our people and providing an enriching environment where everyone can do great work in support of research clients and respondents.”

International Place, one of the largest construction projects in the state, is the vision of developer Robert Scinto. The six-story structure comprises 158,000 square feet, of which SSI will occupy 50,000. It was built in 12 months at a cost of approximately $30 million. On site are restaurants, a childcare center, auditoriums, and fitness centers. The building’s interior design was fashioned with Karen Lika and her group at CPG Architects of Stamford, CT.

“We’re excited to have partnered with one of the leading commercial developers in Connecticut and with renowned commercial interior design firm CPG Architects,” Follett adds. “Bob and Karen – and their respective teams – understand how to create a world-class business environment. I’m convinced this move will have a material impact on SSI locally, but, even more important, it will positively affect our clients throughout the world.”

SSI’s new address is:
