About us
Who would’ve thought that the little town of Ahrensburg, near Hamburg, would be the headquarters of a worldwide network of translators? Well, we certainly didn’t! But we have nevertheless grown steadily, with each of your errors, since 1990. We now have 40 permanent members of staff, all of whom are looking for the right turn of phrase for you. Of these, 11 are full-time proofreaders, who contribute to our quality controls by means of the so-called four-eyes principle. In addition, a worldwide network of more than 600 translators and proofreaders is always on hand to meet your needs. If this is something that not only fills you with awe, but also inspires you to join the team, then let us know what you have to offer.

One thing that we value more than an impressive list of clients is absolute discretion. We therefore behave like gentlemen – we don’t kiss and tell, so we enjoy the complete confidence of our customers. But we can perhaps reveal this much: amongst our regular, satisfied customers are not only the majority of the leading German marketing agencies, but also countless large corporations from the worlds of industry and economics, as well as over 2,000 small or medium-sized enterprises. Please excuse our bragging.
