In an industry undergoing constant change and frequent mergers, acquisitions, and IPOs, SimulTrans is distinguished by its independence—an independence that, above all, enables aggressive company growth without sacrificing the quality of its work or client relationships. SimulTrans has grown organically, from the bottom up, and each year, becomes more comprehensive in its abilities and presence. Not many firms can boast the fact that their original founder not only remains President and C.E.O., but will also take the time to personally consult with customers and contribute to their strategies and solutions.

Headquartered in California’s Silicon Valley, SimulTrans has full production centers on four continents, and offices throughout the world. Experienced project managers, industry-specific translators, engineers, and local-language experts come together in each region to best meet the needs of clients.

SimulTrans was founded in 1984, while Mark Homnack, President and C.E.O., was pursuing his Ph.D. in German Literature at Stanford University. Mark recognized the growing demand among local companies for professional translation services. Utilizing both Stanford University’s resources and the multinational student community that existed there, Mark started a small business offering translation services to companies throughout Silicon Valley. SimulTrans has grown to become one of the world’s largest globalization firms, distinguished by its commitment to creating customized flexible solutions for each client.
