Leading Risk Management Solutions Provider Dyadem Locates in Houston


HOUSTON - December 28, 2007 Dyadem today announced the opening of its U.S. headquarters in Houston, Texas. As a leader in Quality Lifecycle Management and Risk Lifecycle Management solutions, Dyadem's Houston office will address the needs of its existing and rapidly growing U.S. customer base, particularly in the petrochemical and refinery industry. On the heels of increasingly complex mandates from U.S. government bodies like the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), these customers will benefit from Dyadem's local presence.

"With the growing demand for our process safety solutions and services, this opening in Houston could not come at a more critical time for our customers," said Kevin North, president and CEO of Dyadem. "It's important that our oil and gas customers in the U.S. have full support from us and are able to navigate the various security regulations they face."

Dyadem currently works with more than 85% of the Fortune 500 ensuring that safety and compliance requirements are efficiently met across each client's respective organizations. The oil and gas industries complete numerous processes for chemical safety, including Security Vulnerability Assessments (SVA), Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), Incident Management, Management of Change (MOC) and the newly created DHS Chemical Facilities Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) evaluation process, which includes Dyadem's SVA-Pro as one of its 14 approved methodologies.

The Houston office opening is yet another testament to Dyadem's rapid recent growth, both in the U.S. and internationally. With five-fold revenue growth over the past four years, the company has increased hiring across the organization and will continue to expand its footprint in the U.S. in 2008.

The Houston team will be led by Operations Manager Gustavo Silva, who comes to Dyadem with more than 30 years of domestic and international experience in safety and process risk management. Silva has specialized in the development and implementation of risk management systems and programs throughout his extensive career. Offering a blend of corporate and operational experience, Silva's work history includes companies such as Mobil and Research Development Corporation, and Occidental Oil and Gas Corporation.
