Leading localization firm solidifies Asian presence, increases service potential worldwide

New York, NY, May 1, 2009 – Acclaro, one of the world’s premier translation and localization firms, announced the opening of its Bangkok, Thailand office today. The new office expands the firm’s ability to serve existing clients with a 24/7 follow-the-sun service and provides a high-capacity technical resource center for Acclaro’s global operations.

Acclaro Company Limited Bangkok’s address is:
The Prim Place Suite 304

Jatujak Bangkok 10900
Tel. +66 (0) 2 939 4410

“We are particularly excited about our Bangkok office because it opens unique opportunities for us to expand our offerings,” says Michael Kriz, founder and president of Acclaro. “It puts in place a regional operations hub for our clients in Asia and a platform for our global production services to better serve all Acclaro clients worldwide.”

Acclaro selected Thailand for its standing as a leading business-friendly location in Asia, as a key emerging language market and because of Bangkok’s large pool of technical talent. As international businesses continue to expand into and from Asian markets, Acclaro’s Bangkok presence is positioned to support them with regional and global language and production services.

Acclaro Technical Services Director Scott Cahoon oversaw the opening of the Bangkok site: “This opening is an important step for Acclaro. The office will provide project management, language engineering, testing and publishing services. In addition, we will use the site for technical tool development, which will enhance the toolset we use to provide exceptional localization service and solutions to our clients.”

The Bangkok team begins operations May 1, 2009. Along with offices and affiliates in the U.S., Europe and Latin America, the Bangkok office will put Acclaro staff in easy reach for clients in nearly every corner of the planet.
