Teen solves centuries-old math problem
HUNT VALLEY, Md., Dec. 28 (UPI) -- Maryland-based multidisciplinary engineering firm KCI Technologies Inc. announced the launch of a new risk-management subsidiary, KCI Protection Technologies.
KCI-PT, formed after KCI's acquisition of Delaware-based Risk Management Consultants Inc., is a company initiative to diversify the firm's service offerings. Company officials say KCI-PT will specialize in engineering services for security, risk analysis and emergency management among others.
With a staff of engineers, scientists, analysts and assessors, KCI-PT's mission is to mitigate the growing security challenges for organizations by providing technical, scientific and management expertise to defend against losses.
"There is a growing need for businesses to protect themselves in ways that they didn't have to in the past, as a result of globalization, rapid advances in technology and other factors that make us increasingly vulnerable," KCI Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Terry Neimeyer said in a statement. "Launching this business makes a lot of sense for a company like ours, which has been finding innovative ways to apply engineering and other technologies to new markets for more than 55 years."
