Polish LSP Summa Linguae has secured backing from PE fund, Value4Capital, to finance acquisitions in the US and Canada. Deal sees fund taking majority in LSP.
Poland-based Summa Linguae spent USD 2m acquiring Kommunicera, an “almost identical” language service provider, to expand into the Nordics. CEO highlights investment in NMT, API integrations and Blockchain.
After a 25% minority share swap back in mid-2016, Summa Linguae will 100% own Mayflower as they merge into a single company with USD 7m in revenues. Mayflowers owners gain significant shares within Linguae as the company seeks to solidify India as a market and expand into the US.
The world’s second most populous country has 22 official languages and speaks in 1,600 dialects. As the mobile revolution puts a smartphone into the hands of hundreds of millions of more Indians, the demand for language services is set to boom.
Opting for a compromise between an acquisition and a greenfield office opening, Polish language service provider Summa Linguae teams up with Amplexor’s former Managing Director to launch a presence in Romania.
Polish language service provider Summa Linguae and India’s Mayflower Language Services take a 25% stake in each other in a bid to open new sales channels and collaborate on technology. Combined annualized sales of the two companies around USD 2.8m.
