Diction expands and acquires the Danish Korrekturselskabet.
Diction ApS translation agency acquires the Danish Korrekturselskabet ApS, which has specialized in proofreading for private and corporate clients through its two websites www.studiekorrektur.dk
and www.erhvervskorrektur.dk. Thus, Diction strengthens its resources in proofreading and expands the range of language services offered to its customers.
Increased need for proofreading among customers
Both Diction and Korrekturselskabet have seen an increased demand for proofreading among their customers. Korrekturselskabet will, for the time being, remain an independent brand, and Korrekturselskabet's CEO Martin Handberg will become Head of the Proofreading Department at Diction.
Diction's CEO Martin Boberg says in connection with the acquisition:
"Korrekturselskabet and Diction complement each other's services in a very natural way. At Diction, our core expertise has been translation, and at Korrekturselskabet, they have successfully become the Danish masters of proofreading. We at Diction look forward to being able to increase the proofreading part and realize the untapped potential that we believe exists in Korrekturselskabet. Thanks to Diction's presence in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Iceland, we can quite quickly globalize the proofreading concept."
Even before the acquisition, Diction offered proofreading services, which enables a smooth implementation and will contribute to an expansion of Korrekturselskabet's operations and order volume.
Korrekturselskabet's successful journey
Since 2014, the Danish company Korrekturselskabet ApS has delivered proofreading services to over 4,000 different customers. The company operates digitally from www.erhvervskorrektur.dk and www.studiekorrektur.dk, and the customers range from students to authorities and various social institutions. Korrekturselskabet collaborates with over 50 freelance proofreaders, whom Diction looks forward to welcoming and continuing the good cooperation with.
Korrekturselskabet's former CEO Martin Handberg says the following about Korrekturselskabet's future opportunities:
"Korrekturselskabet has successfully anchored its operations in Denmark over the years and achieved high visibility, making the plan to expand beyond Denmark's borders a natural next step in the strategy. This can be realized in a smooth way through the new setup and thus contribute to the fantastic journey that Diction has been on."
Consolidation of forces and utilization of new technology
In a time of more technology and increased competition in the language industry, it is time to come together and thus be ready to meet the future in the best possible way:
Martin Handberg says: "The goal for Korrekturselskabet has always been to run a smooth and secure operation that meets the customer at eye level and provides genuine and responsive customer service. It has developed into a success story that is now ready for the next chapter and to realize its potential in a larger context. As the CEO of Korrekturselskabet, I have continuously kept myself updated on the translation industry and closely followed Diction's journey, sometimes in dialogue with Martin Boberg. We have concluded that the time is now ripe to continue the growth journey for both companies."
Martin Boberg agrees and adds:
"We will have great access to translation tools in the future and will be hungry for new language aspirants, experts, who can verify translations, nuance, and be creative with the language. The goal is to make it attractive to work with languages, especially niche languages in a global context such as Danish
