Ohio company to close Falmouth office

The Smithers Group, an Ohio-based provider of market, technical and business information, is closing its Falmouth office and offering to relocate its 11 employees to Akron, Ohio.

The Portland Press Herald reported that the office will move by summer 2015.

Smithers Group CEO and President Michael Hochschwender said it was a difficult decision.

“The team in Portland has contributed significantly to the success of our North American information services,” Hochschwender said in a prepared statement. “In addition we have consistently received tremendous support from the local Portland community. However, when considering the overall benefits of having our staff co-located in Akron, the decision to move proved compelling.”

The Smithers Group in Falmouth was previously part of the Printing Industry Research Association. It was acquired by the Ohio company in 2010.
