Many of the top 100 Language Service providers you have never heard of. In this multi-billion dollar industry there are many companies that just work with the government, military or specialize in interpreting only. If you look at the list below, there are many companies that ‘fly under the radar”
Common Sense Advisory has been tracking language service providers (LSPs) that make it to the
Inc. 5000 ranking yearly since
2010. This year, 19 LSPs appear on the list (see table below), which is one fewer than
last year.
Seven of these LSPs appear on our ranking of this year’s largest LSPs in the world: TransPerfect (number 3 in our ranking at “
The Top 100 Language Service Providers: 2013,” May13), Welocalize, (#8), CyraCom International (#20), Certified Languages International (#48), Global Language Solutions (#63), Geneva Worldwide (#87), and CETRA Language Solutions (#94). Two other companies from the Inc. list, Kinetic.theTechnologyAgency (named as only ‘Kinetic’ on the Inc. list) and InDemand Interpreting, appear on our
regional ranking for North America (#29 and #30 respectively).
Five companies have made it to the Inc. ranking every year since 2010: TransPerfect, Welocalize, CyraCom International, CETRA Language Solutions, and Dynamic Language. The first four appear regularly on our rankings, too.
