Anthem Worldwide Enters the German Design Market With the Opening of an Office in Duesseldorf

DES PLAINES, IL, Aug 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
Anthem Worldwide, a Schawk (NYSE: SGK) Strategic Design Company, whose
integrated global network provides innovative solutions to articulate,
unify and manage brand impact to create compelling and consistent brand
experiences, announced that it has opened an office in Duesseldorf,
Germany as part of its European expansion plans.

David A. Schawk, president and chief executive officer of Schawk, said,
"Germany has been selected to underpin the strategically important
expansion of Anthem's design business in Europe. As the largest and
strongest economy in Europe, Germany has great potential for Anthem's
strategic and creative services. Our new Anthem office in Duesseldorf is
consistent with Schawk's strategy to enhance the integrated global brand
point management services that we provide to our clients."

Mr. Schawk continued, "Our global resources continue to help our clients
expand their global reach while ensuring that their brands are expressed
consistently in markets all over the world. These integrated strategic,
creative and executional global resources are available to the future
clientele of Anthem's Germany office."

Hans Muysson, Anthem group managing director for Europe, commented,
"Through Anthem's global network, we are able to leverage strategic and
design talent throughout the world to bring a leading branding and design
product to the German market which will set a new standard of design
excellence. I believe this will have strong appeal to the German
marketplace and will enable Anthem to win new clients and brands."

Mr. Muysson added, "As part of Anthem's European business, our new office
in Duesseldorf is part of a broader strategic growth initiative. We are
committed to becoming the world's leading strategic design network with
truly global capabilities that are fueled by design intelligence: a
passion for discovery, a commitment to constructing business success, and
the ability to transform ideas into actionable solutions. Our thinking
applies to national and global brands as well as private label brands."

Anja Grunefeld, the newly appointed managing director of Anthem's new
Duesseldorf office, commented: "My earlier experiences as a client with
the Anthem offices in Holland and the U.K. triggered my interest to join
since I see massive opportunities in the German market for the high
caliber design capabilities that Anthem offers. To my opinion, the German
design market can benefit from specialized and professional development
of brand and packaging design, and with Anthem, I believe we can raise
the bar in Germany... for both smaller and larger players."
