GOVERNOR JACK MARKELL AND DEDO SECRETARY ALAN LEVIN CELEBRATE CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY’S POSITIVE IMPACT ON DELAWARE ECONOMY

Wilmington, DE (www.cscglobal.com) – Governor Jack Markell and Delaware Economic Development Office (DEDO) Secretary Alan Levin visited Corporation Service Company® (CSC®) today to discuss the company's positive impact on Delaware's economy.

For over 110 years, CSC has drawn companies from all over the U.S. and the world into the State of Delaware. CSC is Delaware's largest source of new business entities. In 2009 CSC formed over 25% of all new corporations and LLCs in Delaware. That's over 27,000 new businesses created in Delaware in 2009 alone. CSC counts among its customers 75% of all Fortune 500* companies, hundreds of thousands of medium and small businesses, over 25,000 law firms, and many of the country's largest banks and financial institutions.

"We are pleased that CSC continues to grow in Delaware," said DEDO Secretary Alan Levin. "Their success affords unlimited opportunities to our State's talented workforce."

The business community and workforce that CSC helped create is the largest single source of tax revenue for Delaware and accounts for 36% of all Delaware state receipts. CSC employs over 500 people in Delaware, and the state's leading newspaper, The News Journal, has named CSC as a "Best in the Business" company in 2007, 2008, and 2009.

Over the years CSC has added new lines of business beyond entity formation and related services. For example, CSC is now ranked #1 in quality for Internet Domain Name Services and #3 in Trademark Services according to a survey of trademark counsel from around the world conducted and published by World Trademark Review in May 2010.

Governor Markell said, "CSC has been a significant part of Delaware's business landscape since 1899 and we appreciate its strong focus on business growth. We work every day to continue to improve the business climate that has allowed businesses like CSC to flourish here in the First State and we are thankful that CSC calls Delaware home."

"Delaware is the place where CSC began and flourished," commented President and CEO, Rod Ward. "Over time, our business grew and became successful as an indispensible link between the state and the business community. We look forward to working with our partners in State government to contribute even more to the development of Delaware’s economy."

CSC strives to maintain its positive impact on the state economy by providing excellent employment opportunities in its Wilmington headquarters. This includes positions in sales, customer service, account management, information technology, and management. To apply, visit www.cscglobal.com/careers.
