About us

According to the British Chamber of Commerce, companies that dismiss the need to use languages other than English are finding it hard to compete in the global economy and are losing significant business.

In fact, recent findings by market research company Forrester show that:

. Businesses are three times more likely to buy when addressed in their native language

. Customer service costs drop when instructions are displayed in the user's native language

. Visitors stay twice as long on websites with content in their native tongue.

Comtec is a business-focused translation provider with 25 years’ experience helping its clients exploit the commercial advantage available to companies who are prepared to make a strategic commitment to language.

Founded in 1981, Comtec employs expert linguists in the appropriate roles, but is run by a management team with experience in other areas of business, which gives us a perspective beyond the world of translation.

Comtec is a technology-led translation company with a full-time in-house IT team to maintain all the necessary equipment and systems which support a modern translation business.

Alongside our commitment to technology, we believe strongly in personal project management and long-term business relationships. Our well-trained project managers maintain regular contact with our clients, keeping them informed of project progress at every stage.

At Comtec, we make time to understand the commercial imperatives of our clients’ businesses and ensure that the process of translation is as efficient as possible, so as not to slow down the pace at which they often need to move.
