TransPerfect, the multinational specialized in technological solutions and linguistic services, has made a significant strategic move by acquiring the French operations of MPC and The Mill. These two renowned brands are well-known in the field of visual effects and creative production, and their integration into TransPerfect comes at a time marked by the recent bankruptcy of Technicolor Creative Studios, to which both studios belonged.
Both companies have headquarters in Paris and have extensive experience in creating visual content for film and advertising. This acquisition will allow TransPerfect to significantly expand its capabilities in visual effects, post-production, and localization, representing a crucial step in its growth strategy in Europe.
The president and founder of TransPerfect, Phil Shawe, emphasized the importance of this development within the framework of the company’s expansion. This growth is not limited to the acquisition of MPC and The Mill, as TransPerfect has made additional moves, such as integrating the German studio Speeech, specialized in dubbing and audiovisual localization. In addition, the company has acquired Blu Digital Group, focused on automating cloud workflow, and Technicolor Games, further strengthening its offering for the gaming sector.
This series of acquisitions not only boosts TransPerfect’s technical capabilities, but also seeks to consolidate its leadership in the entertainment sector. Jacques Barreau, who is vice president of Media & Interactive Entertainment at TransPerfect Media, has been appointed president of the Entertainment Globalization Association (EGA), highlighting the company’s commitment to innovation in content localization and globalization.
With these actions, TransPerfect continues to broaden its focus, combining human talent and technology to provide comprehensive solutions in translation, localization, and multilingual customer service. The addition of these new operations promises to strengthen its position in the competitive global entertainment and media market.
