German translation company opens U.S. headquarters in Atlanta
Atlanta, June 2008 - A Germany-based translation company that has offices in ten European countries and works in 83 languages, opened its first U.S. branch in Atlanta in June, choosing the Georgia capital over Chicago, Detroit and New York.
Edward Vick, founder and CEO of Frankfurt-based EVS Translation Services, says that the availability of downtown office space and proximity of international companies made Atlanta a fit for his company.
“EVS is a European company up to now, we’re here in the U.S. to change that,” he said. “In Germany, out of the top 100 companies 50 are our clients, almost all of these 50 are located in the U.S. many in the region of Atlanta.”
He added that the company hires native speakers in its different branches and the Atlanta office could grow to 25 translators and staff.
