About us – Tvains

History

Tvains originated in Argentina in 2000 as a translation company specialized in the pharmaceutical industry. In 2011, the company expanded on an international level to Colombia, where it underwent a surge growth.

In 2012, Tvains obtained the ISO 9001:2008 certification under Bureau Veritas and the international accreditation of ONAC, UKAS, and ANAB. The following year, the company was certified to the European quality standard for translation services UNE EN-15038:2006 with TÜV Rheinland (currently effective). During that year, we brought about many improvements in our company, as we became members of the ATA (American Translators Association) and acquired the robust platform that generates customized translation memories and termbases: SDL Trados. This accounts for additional benefits in our management process and enables us to fully align ourselves with our clients’ needs.

As a result of our annual strategic agenda, we continued with our geographic expansion, and in 2014, we opened commercial offices in Miami FL, USA.

In 2015, we began operating in Ciudad de México, diversifying our portfolio and business units.

Furthermore, Tvains Talent strengthened our processes and infrastructure, acquiring a new office in Bogotá.

Client Experiences

My experience with Tvains:

I have had the chance of working with around five translation providers for 10 years. This period and the interaction with five different companies engaged in this work give me the confidence to state that Tvains is a reliable, responsible, and very supporting company. Tvains has greatly support our studies, as our deadlines and workload often result in mistakes. Furthermore, besides delivering excellent translations, Tvains takes the time to make sure that the data required in certain circumstances, such as footers and CoTs, follow the guidelines of SOPs. I totally recommend Tvains, as its staff is highly qualified, and translations returns are kept to a minimum, compared with other providers. Likewise, time frames are very convenient and prices are highly competitive.
I congratulate every member of Tvains – Tvains Colombia, and I look forward to keep working with you.

My working experience with Tvains from day 1 until now has been very positive. They are very professional in the translations services offered and very efficient in delivery times, they provide excellent translations with minimum corrections, and they focus largely on user support: they adapt themselves to the requirements of the pharmaceutical industry and even speed up delivery times when required. Additionally, the customer service approach of all their collaborators is remarkable.
