Increased Demand for International Communications Services at the Heart of Europe Drives Expansion
November 2, 2006 - TransPerfect Translations, the world's leading provider of international communications services, announced today the opening of a new office in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The new office will support existing local clients, while also serving as a primary office for business development throughout the Netherlands.
Amsterdam has traditionally been the first choice for transportation businesses worldwide due to its excellent logistics and technological infrastructure. Lying at the gateway to Europe, it is a significant hub for all methods of international communication. The Netherlands is also home to the International Court of Justice and the new office will allow TransPerfect to continue supporting its many distinguished legal clients, in addition to furthering relationships within a number of other key verticals.
Angela O'Sullivan, Vice President of European Operations, said, "Opening an Amsterdam office represents a move into yet another dynamic international environment. More than half of all American and Asian logistics centers can be found in the Netherlands and we will continue to meet increasing needs within this industry. The numerous major life science research centers in and around Amsterdam also represent a significant opportunity for TransPerfect to leverage our unrivalled expertise in the sector."
Liz Elting, President & CEO, added "TransPerfect is consistently at the forefront of innovation in international communications. Amsterdam is a breeding ground for innovative hi-tech firms and our new office will place us directly on their doorstep, enabling us to develop our services together with their ever-evolving needs."
