EVS Translations
Single-source solution for all language requirements, ranging from document translation to website localization.
In 1991, Edward Vick saw an opportunity in the increasingly globalizing business world. He founded EVS Translations in Offenbach, Germany, with a clear mission: to provide high-quality language services for corporations. The company started by focusing on a core need for businesses expanding across borders – reliable and accurate translations. By building a team of in-house translators, EVS Translations could ensure a level of quality and consistency that was often difficult to find with freelance-only models. This in-house approach became a key differentiator. The company established expertise in specific industries like finance, legal, and technology, understanding the nuanced terminology each required. This strategy allowed them to build long-term relationships with major international companies. Instead of just being a vendor, they became an integrated partner for their clients' globalization efforts. A significant chapter in the company's story unfolded in 2021 when it was acquired by Unbabel, a company known for its AI-powered language operations platform. This wasn't just a simple buyout; it was a strategic move combining EVS Translations' decades of human expertise and client relationships with Unbabel's advanced AI technology. The acquisition marked a pivotal moment, blending a traditional, human-centric translation service with a modern, tech-driven platform to create a more powerful, hybrid offering for the future of the language services industry.
