MassMutual Adds Gyrodata Inc. to Growing List of Retirement Services Clients

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Dec. 20, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- MassMutual's Retirement Services Division continues the aggressive growth of its defined contribution business with the addition of the Gyrodata 401(k) plan. Gyrodata Inc.'s retirement plan has nearly $15 million in assets and approximately 218 participants.

Gyrodata, based in Houston, Texas, is the leading supplier of precision wellbore survey services to the energy industry. Gyrodata played an important role in surveying, pro bono, both the communication hole and one of the rescue wells involved in the recent successful rescue of the trapped Chilean miners. Gyrodata also was instrumental in guiding the relief well to enable the well kill operation at BP's Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico last September.

"Gyrodata not only recognizes the importance of high quality and precision for its survey technology, but the company also recognizes the value of a high-quality retirement plan for its employees," says the plan's advisor, Frank Idrees, principal, Schildhauer & Idrees, LLP, Houston, Texas. "We're confident that Gyrodata's employees will receive industry-leading retirement plan support from a financially stable provider like MassMutual."

"We chose MassMutual because we recognize their stellar focus on quality and we saw right away that MassMutual has what it takes to offer top-of-the-line service. Their keen focus and teamwork with our advisor has made it a flawless transition, and we're thrilled about plan features such as customized communications and the flexibility to design a custom investment platform," says Robert Trainer, vice president and chief financial officer of Gyrodata, Inc. "In addition, we're thankful for the opportunity to work with a local advisor and we've been truly impressed by MassMutual's professionalism and responsiveness," he adds.

"We're looking forward to demonstrating to Gyrodata and its employees that MassMutual offers world-class service when it comes to retirement services," says Elaine Sarsynski, executive vice president of MassMutual's Retirement Services Division and chairman and CEO of MassMutual International LLC.
