The Skrivanek language agency once again placed among the Top 100 Language Service Providers, which ranks it among the largest providers of language services, translations and localizations in the Czech and international markets. The rankings, which this year include 100 agencies, were made by American independent research and consulting organization Common Sense Advisory. Thanks to its continuous development and increased quality of its services, Skrivanek was ranked 25th in number of employees (295), 4th in number of branches (44 around the world), and 26th in turnover.

“This past year our revenues have grown by 10.35% on the Czech market and 11.17% on the international market, thanks to the successful implementation of our long-term strategy based mainly on diversification of services, markets and groups of customers,”said Andrea Vojáčková, Skrivanek’s sales director. “Our high efficiency and productivity is further supported and maintained by the use of advanced technologies for translation, project management and communication inside and outside the company. We are of course pleased to once again be included in the global Top Language Service Providers rankings, in which we have appeared since 2006, because it helps strengthen our brand awareness both locally and in foreign markets.”

The research results reveal a significant increase in sales for most of the ranked agencies, with the largest growth being recorded among large American companies. Common Sense Advisory estimates this year’s worldwide turnover for language agencies at $33.5 billion and language services market growth of 12.17%, which is almost 50% more than last year. The top agencies nevertheless represent only 4% of the providers of language services throughout the world and 14% of sales. The vast majority of global sales are therefore made by agencies with turnover of less than $1 million annually .

Skrivanek is the largest language agency in Central and Eastern Europe. It has branches in 19 Czech cities. Its competitive advantages include comprehensive services, high quality governed by ISO standards, the use of innovative technologies and an almost twenty-year tradition. Skrivanek’s customers include large multinational corporations, government and nonprofit organizations, local businesses and the general public. This year Skrivanek introduced a new element supporting corporate graphics, the slogan The Wor(l)d is Yours, and a communications strategy for the new needs of customers in the B2C segment, mainly women aged 25 to 40.

The Top 100 Language Service Providers 2012 rankings provides an assessment of the world’s best service providers in the field of translation, interpretation and localization on the basis of company turnover and an assessment of market size. Thanks to growth in the field the rankings this years include 100 companies.
