SHANGHAI , CHINA ---Rolf Jensen & Associates, Inc. (RJA) has established a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise (WFOE) in Shanghai, China. RJA previously maintained a presence in China through a Representative Office (RO). As a WFOE, RJA will provide professional fire protection consulting services directly to China-based clients as well as providing these services for US-based clients.

By establishing the WFOE, RJA is reinforcing its commitment to the clients and fire service in China. For over a decade, Martin Reiss, CEO, has spearheaded the effort to make RJA a recognized name in fire protection consulting in China. He, along with the RJA International team, has spent these years developing valuable personal and professional relationships with the fire service and officials in China. According to Mr. Reiss "the move to a WFOE strengthens our global presence and allows us to provide expanded services as a true China-based company."

The RJA Shanghai office will be managed by Fang Li, Vice President. She has been with the firm since 2001 and played an instrumental role in the growth of RJA in China. Ms. Li also serves as the Founding President of the China Chapter of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE).
