Our take
LanguageWire operates as a translation and content production software company. It offers a comprehensive language management ecosystem, allowing businesses to effectively engage and communicate with diverse audiences worldwide.
Central to its offerings is the European language Service Provider (LSP), which equips businesses with the ability to effectively communicate in multiple languages, thereby enhancing product sales. Despite competition in the field, LanguageWire has established a formidable market presence, recently earning recognition as the top LSP specialised in edited MY by CSA Research.
In a strategic move to expand its reach, LanuageWire previously acquired Xplanation, a Belgium-based company, thereby broadening its geographical footprint and client portfolio. However, the company has now been acquired by Bridgepoint for over $230M. With Bridgepoint's stature as one of Europe's premier private equity firms, LanguageWire is poised to witness a substantial increase in the adoption of its tools.
