Translation Agency Bank on Swiss International Success

CREWKERNE, U.K. - June 20, 2013 - PRLog -- An international translation agency has opened up an office in Zurich citing Switzerland’s longstanding position within international business as the major reason behind the investment. Focused on helping Swiss businesses trade across languages and cultures, the agency believes it has a new viewpoint to offer local clients.

Working globally has always been a part of Switzerland’s business make-up. However, working globally, across different languages, cultures and time zones is constantly pushing companies to develop in order to stay ahead of the global game.

Kwintessential, an international translation agency has opened an office in Zurich, Switzerland this week aiming to help local companies get ahead in the global business game. More than just translation, the company brings a fresh perspective on language and culture within business, in short, how to use it to maximise potential when working globally. Alongside translation, the agency also offers localization services, cultural awareness consulting, multilingual ecommerce solutions and even interpreters across the globe.

With offices in the UK, USA, Argentina, South Africa and the UAE, the agency now sees the Swiss market as having the need and opportunity for their offering. “Switzerland is a unique country in terms of diversity across language and culture,” explains Managing Director of Kwintessential Helvatia, Flory Stroe.  “With four national languages, a large multicultural expat community, a preferred location for headquarters for a multitude of global companies,  a centre for international organisations and NGO's, strong trade links not only with the EU but also with the Far East, if you look at it Switzerland it is a microcosm of the global picture. We take comfort in the fact it is in first place in the global innovation index and ranks in the top 10 most entrepreneurial countries. We need it and it needs our services.”

The agency plans on targeting both multicultural businesses domestically as well as those working globally. Current clients come from across business although the company does have vast experience in the legal, marketing, finance, media, online, agricultural and tourism sectors. Examples of success have included the localization of a major Gulf Arab states’ online tourism advertising campaign, the translation of high level legal files from the International Criminal Court and post-merger and acquisition cultural training for a famous UK car manufacturer when bought by a foreign party.
