I've been contacted several times recently regarding rumours that Swets are closing their Singapore office and what this means for Swets as a whole.
I have spoken to Swets and these rumours are unfounded. Their Singapore office is not closing and, while they have taken the opportunity to do some reorganization and rationalization globally, this is all for sound business reasons.
Robert Jacobs (Director of Publisher Relations at Swets) has offered to field any queries that ALPSP members might have but it looks like this is a non-story!

I've heard similar rumours about Swets, but regarding other offices.
