LONDON, December 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Chandler Chicco Companies (CCC), part of inVentiv Health, Inc., today announced that leading German healthcare communication firms, Haas & Health Partner Public Relations (Haas & Health Partner) and SanCom Creative Communication Solutions (SanCom CCS) have been acquired by CCC, creating an unrivalled healthcare communication capability in Germany.

The two Eltville, Germany-based companies, previously affiliated with CCC, will join inVentiv Health effective immediately. This will add a further 33 staff (23 of Haas & Health Partner and 10 of SanCom CCS) to CCC's thriving European operations and provide the company's clients with access to a pure-play healthcare communications network of more than 380 experts worldwide. In addition, the firms will be linked to the inVentiv Health Communications/Europe "super-agency" structure - a multi-disciplinary, pan-European operation which brings together inVentiv's advertising, public relations, public policy, market access, medical education, marketing, branding and digital services.

In 2008, CCC strengthened its relationship with Haas & Health Partner and SanCom CCS by acquiring a 19.9% interest. Under the terms of the new agreement, the companies now become wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Over the last decade, Haas & Health Partner and SanCom CCS have delivered superior strategic thinking, creativity and integrated healthcare communication solutions with a focus on the German market. The companies' approach is a natural fit with the Chandler Chicco Companies portfolio, known for its unmatched perspective, multi-disciplinary approach and creative know-how.

"This is a significant step in our global growth plans," said Bob Chandler, founder and principal of Chandler Chicco Companies. "After a decade of working closely with both firms, the terms of our new agreement enable us to bring unprecedented resources to the German marketplace for the benefit of our clients' interests."    

Whilst aligning under the Chandler Chicco Companies umbrella, both Haas & Health Partner, currently celebrating its 10th anniversary, and sister company SanCom CCS will retain their brands. Dr. Irene Haas, Ulrich van Gemmern and their existing management teams will also continue to lead the firms, reporting directly to Fiona Hall, Managing Director of Chandler Chicco Companies Europe.      

"From the very beginning, Haas & Health Partner and SanCom CCS set out to deliver truly global propositions, rooted in the nuances of the local landscape here in Germany," said Dr. Irene Haas and Ulrich van Gemmern, founders of the two companies. "In an increasingly globalised marketplace, our clients' needs are changing. Today's consolidation with Chandler Chicco Companies allows us to broaden our horizons even further - adding truly global resources to a well established and trusted local team."
