History
[edit | edit source]Global Insight was formed in March 2001 from the merger of WEFA (formerly Wharton Econometric Forecasting Associates) and DRI (formerly Data Resources Inc), together with Primark Decision Economics (later called Decision Economics, Inc.),[2] Primark Poland (later GlobalInTech, sp. z o.o.)[3][4] and the French company DAFSA; its estimated 2008 revenues were at $120 million.[5] It has since acquired several other companies, including PlanEcon, CIEMEX, Reebie Associates, and London-based World Markets Research Centre. On November 2, 2007, Global Insight acquired SupplierBusiness.[1]
Ownership and management
[edit | edit source]Global Insight was privately held, and founded by Joseph E. Kasputys, who served as its president and CEO. On September 18, 2008, IHS Inc. agreed to purchase Global Insight for $200 million.[6][7]
