Founded in the late 1980s, this Switzerland-based language service provider has built a strong reputation as a niche specialist in Swiss multilingual localization. The company focuses exclusively on translation services, serving predominantly direct clients with high requirements in terms of regulatory accuracy, linguistic precision, and local compliance.
Its core strength lies in tri-lingual Swiss expertise (German-CH, French-CH, Italian-CH), complemented by English, with deep familiarity with Swiss legislative and industry standards. The client portfolio spans Life Sciences & Healthcare, Automotive, Cosmetics, Insurance & Pension Funds, Legal, Finance, and Logistics, ensuring sector diversification while maintaining a strong specialization profile.
Operations are supported by a lean internal team and modern technology, including Plunet as TMS, Trados-based CAT workflows, and AI-assisted tools such as ModernMT and DeepL. This setup enables high productivity, strong margins, and fast turnaround times.
Following a challenging period linked to market shifts and AI innovation, the company implemented decisive cost optimization measures, reducing headcount and fixed costs. As a result, financial performance has stabilized and is showing renewed growth, with a solid adjusted EBITDA in recent years.
The owner is planning retirement within the next two years. A transition plan is in place, with the current manager available to remain involved as Swiss-market lead, ensuring continuity and client retention. This opportunity is well suited for buyers seeking a profitable niche player with strong local expertise and scalable operations.
