PR - StarTek Opens New Contact Center in Ohio

StarTek, Inc. (NYSE: SRT), a leading provider of high value business process outsourcing services to the communications industry, announced today that it has signed a lease for a new customer care center in Mansfield, Ohio. The center is planned to be operational to serve an existing Fortune 100 telecom client in the second quarter of 2008. The Mansfield, Ohio, facility located at 860 West Fourth Street expects to employ over 500 people when fully staffed.

"The community of Mansfield, Ohio, was chosen because of its exceptionally strong labor pool," said Larry Jones, president and CEO of StarTek. "We couldn’t be happier with our decision to locate our twentieth center in Ohio."

"We are excited that StarTek has chosen Mansfield as the site for its next contact center," said Mike Greene, president of the Richland Economic Development Corporation. "It is great news for all Richland County and the region."

The Mansfield site is part of a larger expansion strategy to meet the strong demand from new and existing clients. According to Jones, the Company’s newest contact center in Victoria, Texas, is expected to go live in mid January and StarTek is diligently screening communities to identify the location of its next site to support the Company’s growth objectives.

"As the communications industry continues to expand, StarTek is seeing strong demand because of our positioning as a quality provider," said Jones. "Many of our clients and prospects are asking us for more capacity as soon as we can provide it. We believe our accelerated revenue growth in 2008 will be driven by our ability to bring on new centers like Victoria and Mansfield."
