Our take
TransPerfect addresses the need for enterprise-level brand growth, tackling the language and culture barrier for companies wanting to expand globally. Its solutions, in short, help companies to communicate with more people in more places.
TransPerfect’s impressive suite includes AI translation solutions, website localization and data security, much of which is bolstered by its flagship GlobalLink Translation Management platform. Considered a pioneering force in its sector, the legacy company has spent over three decades adopting technological innovations to further its reach and strengthen its translation mission.
Impressively, the company has been featured on the Inc. 5000 US list of fastest-growing companies numerous times. After a buyout of his co-founder's shares in 2018, now-solo founder Phil Shawe undertook an expansion and innovation drive. TransPerfect’s strong performance and growth since then indicate that this transformation has been successful.
