Having spent several years working in the translation industry, Ms. Elting felt there was a need for a service-minded enterprise that could deliver complex projects quickly and accurately. In 1992, they founded TransPerfect to fill that gap. Their mission: to provide the highest quality language services to leading businesses worldwide.
