Apostroph Group acquired GLOBAL TRANSLATIONS GmbH on 24 September
2020. This acquisition will see Apostroph further expanding its leading position in
the highly competitive market for high-quality language services.

Apostroph, a leading language services provider in the DACH (Germany, Austria,
Switzerland) region, with Swiss locations in Bern, Lausanne, Lucerne and Zurich, will
in future be enhanced by GLOBAL TRANSLATIONS GmbH, based in Sutz-Lattrigen
near Biel. GLOBAL TRANSLATIONS, founded by Tatjana Greber-Probst, has been
renowned throughout Switzerland for its quality, flexibility and client proximity for over
20 years.

“This represents an important milestone in Apostroph’s expansion strategy,” says
Philipp Meier, Managing Partner of Apostroph Group. This step will further boost its
position in the language services market and simultaneously expand its regional
presence. The acquisition will also see Apostroph expanding its client base to include
numerous Swiss SMEs and major companies based in Switzerland. Its Bern office will
also gain more than ten new employees, including several linguists. This will strengthen
Apostroph’s internal language team in Switzerland and further expand its capacities.
The clients of both companies will benefit from the merger in the form of enhanced
linguistic expertise, improved capacity, new services and the development of proprietary
technologies and software systems. One thing will remain the same, however: “Our
clients – both those of Apostroph and GLOBAL TRANSLATIONS – will continue to
be served by the project managers they already know. Ms Greber-Probst will also
remain in the team and will continue to look after her clients personally. That is
something we are keen to emphasise,” says Philipp Meier.
