April 5, 2004
Houston, TX - ABS Consulting announced today that it has sold its publishing division of Government Institutes to Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Inc., a publisher of specialty books, located in Lanham, Maryland.
The publishing division of Government Institutes is a leading provider of U.S. Government regulatory information including commentary, reference books, textbooks and guides. Book subjects include the environment, health, safety, food and drug, and more recently, homeland security.
Rowman & Littlefield acquired the right to use the "Government Institutes" name for its publishing business and will house Government Institutes under Scarecrow Press Inc, its bookseller.
"One of the qualities that most impressed us about Government Institutes is its outstanding roster of authors, including several of the most respected attorneys and law firms in the country, as well as top engineers and other professionals in the regulatory areas," Edward Kurdyla, Vice President and Publisher of Scarecrow Press, said.
ABS Consulting will continue to conduct public and private Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) training courses under the Government Institutes banner as well as for its seminar business.
"ABS Consulting retained the Government Institutes' name for its exceptional brand name recognition in its EH&S training," noted Jay Collert, Vice President of ABS Consulting Training.
