Heritage and Origin
Illuminas' heritage stretches back over 20 years. In the UK, the company developed from the merger of two research agencies: Hauck Research with a heritage in qualitative brand development and innovation, and DVL Smith Ltd with a heritage in quantitative research and business strategy. In the US, Momentum Research Group of Austin Texas became part of Illuminas in 2004 and the New York office opened in 2005. Illuminas APAC started with the opening of the Hong Kong office in 2005, followed shortly after by Shanghai.

Famous quotes containing the words heritage and/or origin:
“It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.””
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed,—a, to me, equally mysterious origin for it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
