ElaN Languages acquires German company Lingua-World

ElaN Languages has acquired Übersetzungsbüro Lingua-World, a reputable translation and interpreting agency headquartered in Cologne, with 12 other offices across Germany...

By doing so, ElaN Languages continues its international progress. Earlier this year, ElaN had already acquired Belgian language agency Eloquentia. In previous years, Dutch translation agencies Translavic and PassworD joined our ranks. Our learning branch ElaN Learning also expanded significantly, thanks to the recent acquisitions of B&D and The European Training House (ETH).

Top player in Germany

Lingua-World is among the top 10 leading language service providers in Germany and ranks 43rd in Europe. This makes Lingua-World one of our eastern neighbours' most successful language service providers of the past decade. Lingua-World employs 45 people and is owned by the family holding company GeTraNet Holding.

Robrecht Beliën, the CEO of ElaN Languages, is delighted: ‘With this acquisition, we are strengthening our position in the German market. This is beneficial for everybody involved: ElaN, our clients and all stakeholders.’
