Let's join forces
Looking to transition out of the industry?
We are looking to acquire US-based translation businesses with less than $2,000,000 in annual sales, especially those with strong client relationships but that have not adopted the latest advances in translation technology.
Our acquisition history
In the last 4 years, we have acquired three companies: Milwaukee-based ICD Translation (ICD), Fort Collins-based Global Accent Translation Services (GA), and Philadelphia-based Magnum Group, Inc.
What we value most in acquisition candidates:
- Strong client retention year over year with a healthy client concentration
- Any specialization that deepens existing client relationships
Bridging language barriers since 1995
CEO Peter Argondizzo envisioned Argo Translation during his first job out of college. As a project manager in the foreign language department of a medical device company, he grew frustrated with the translation process: the costs and the lack of accountability among companies offering translation services. “We can do better than that,” he thought.
Peter partnered with co-founder Jackie Lucarelli, and together, they grew Argo Translation to more than two dozen full-time employees who coordinate more than 300 translators worldwide. Bringing their combined customer service, translation, and corporate skills together, Peter and Jackie built Argo Translation not just on the constantly advancing technology in the industry but also on the human touch with every project. Personally being involved in every project provides a better relationship with both translators and customers, resulting in the best possible project outcome. Argo Translation continues to work with many of its original customers and is proud to continue to practice these work ethics every single day.
Our differentiators
What sets us apart
Technology Innovation
We invest in technology to reduce costs and speed production of translation projects. We make our translation technology a tool that works for our customers, not a replacement for quality translation.
Quality Assurance
We maintain the highest possible QA standards. Our translation and industry-specific ISO certifications ensure projects are always handled by experts who know our customers' industries.
Human Focus
Our human expertise extends beyond translation: a project manager and account manager guide every engagement, meaning clients get a partner who understands their business, not just a vendor processing files.
