Eriksen Translations to Host Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Headquarters Expansion
NEW YORK (PRWEB) September 10, 2018 -- Eriksen Translations Inc. (http://www.eriksen.com), one of North America’s top language service providers, will host a ribbon cutting ceremony on September 20 to celebrate the expansion of the company’s Brooklyn headquarters. The new addition serves to accommodate Eriksen’s growing team and enable the company to more effectively serve the needs of its clients while staying at the forefront of the rapidly evolving language services industry.
For over 32 years, Eriksen has been helping clients communicate across print, web, and multimedia in more than 100 languages. Eriksen supports major companies in finance, insurance, law, creative services, health care, and education, as well as nonprofits, NGOs, and leading museums and cultural institutions worldwide. The company’s office expansion creates an open, team-oriented environment that fosters collaboration.
Eriksen’s growth is reflective of larger trends in the language services industry. Independent market research firm Common Sense Advisory (CSA Research) reports that the demand for language services and supporting technologies is growing at an annual rate of 7.99% as more companies are making their products and services available in multiple languages. The firm predicts that the $46.52 billion language services market will continue to grow, increasing to $56.18 billion by 2021.
As part of Eriksen’s growth strategy, the company has expanded its team with key new hires.
- Will Lach joined Eriksen earlier this year as Director of Sales. With over twenty years of experience supporting major museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History, Will is now leading Eriksen’s sales and business development efforts with clients in the museum and cultural field.
- With more than seventeen years of language industry experience, Director of Client Services Kevin Hudson came aboard this June to manage Eriksen’s client services team and ensure the company understands and meets the needs of its diverse client base.
- Eriksen’s newest team member, Director of Production Yasmin Menon, is a twenty-year industry veteran dedicated to overseeing all aspects of production and quality assurance.
- Ryan Hansen fills the new position of Multilingual Quality Manager. In this role, he upholds the company’s quality standards by performing a final review of translated materials to confirm that deliverables adhere to all specifications.
- The company’s new Vendor Manager, Shelby Greenwood, oversees the recruitment, testing, quality control, and management of Eriksen’s extensive worldwide network of translators, editors, and interpreters.
“The addition of these new team members reaffirms Eriksen’s commitment to quality, innovation, and operational excellence,” said Vigdis Eriksen, founder and CEO of Eriksen Translations. “Our exceptional staff and upgraded headquarters enhance Eriksen’s ability to respond to industry growth and meet our clients’ increasing demand for top-notch language services.”
Eriksen’s ribbon cutting will be held Thursday, September 20 from 6:00-8:00 pm, and representatives from the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce will be on hand to help Eriksen cut the ribbon. Eriksen invites business and community leaders from across the New York City metro area to join the celebration. For more information or to attend, please contact [email protected].
