Acolad and Amplexor are confirming the acquisition of Amplexor by Acolad Group today. The merger will reinforce their worldwide presence and improve their technological and commercial service offering to create a leading global Language Service Provider.
Complementary partners: a global footprint and technological excellence
Now that the deal is official, the Group passes the symbolic threshold of 2,000 employees and has a combined turnover of more than 270 million euros for the year 2019.
This new business venture represents an important milestone - together, Amplexor and Acolad have decades of expertise in delivering professional language and content services for a range of industries, including life sciences, manufacturing and the public sector.
In addition to its leading position in the US, Eastern European and DACH markets, Amplexor will also enrich the Group with a comprehensive portfolio of content management and digital experience solutions, reinforcing Acolad’s worldwide presence and cross-selling capabilities.
The importance of a successful integration
Both parties are now concentrating their efforts on ensuring a successful integration, which will play a key role in achieving their shared ambition of becoming one of the top 3 language service providers worldwide. In the meantime, their mission remains unchanged, as they continue to operate globally and support their customers and partners.
“I am excited that this great project is becoming a reality. By joining forces with Amplexor, we are uniquely positioned to provide even more industry-leading technological solutions and high-quality services to our customers. During the integration phase, the Acolad and Amplexor leadership teams will work together to identify new opportunities for our customers and employees, while continuing to provide the high-quality services that both companies are known for."
