Walloon Grand Prix for European Exports
Europe Award
Anthea Languages exporter of the year.
On 14 November in Belgium Anthea Languages received the Walloon Grand Prix for Exports awarded by the Walloon Export Agency (AWEX).
This prize recognizes the rapid development of the company's international activities over the last three years, and in particular the success of its French subsidiary set up six years ago in the Sophia Antipolis technology park.
Founded in 1993 and a pioneer is the use of internet related technologies and the electronic exchange of documents, Anthea's outlook is firmly oriented to the international markets. Of course this does not prevent the Belgian-French company from working with major companies at home in a variety of high technology sectors.
According to Myriam Perez and Yves Vanneste, founders and directors of the company: "Our financial results show very positive development: we saw an increase in turnover of 145% between 2003 and 2005, the volume of exports being multiplied by three in the same period. Our Sophia Antipolis office enables us to present our customers with a "high tech" business card, completely in-step with their profile: computing, telecommunications, technology, medicine. In 2005 it represented 60% of our overall export turnover. Our rate of growth enables us to envisage joining the leading world translations companies by 2010.
Since the creation of Anthea we have been striving to spread our company values among our international customers based on the attention we pay to our customers, our long-term partnership with them, and the constant development of skills and team working. Our ISO 9001-2000 Certification has recently been renewed for the seventh year running."
