DLS

About DLS

Typically characterized by high rates, limited flexibility and a somewhat stale image, the translation industry is often viewed upon by clients as a hurdle rather than a catalyst for success.

"Based on my experiences as VP and GM of leading translation 'dinosaurs'​, I have shaped DLS with an entirely opposite approach"​, says Marcel Nijenhuis, founder. "Agile, positive, smart, low-cost and with a can-do corporate mentality."​

DLS is able to handle all languages and virtually all types of content.

Marcel: "The ability to attract the best professionals and top translation talents is closely related to the DNA of the company - this is where our approach pays the first dividends for our clients and our organization: our setup attracts the best talents in the industry."​

The DLS client portfolio ranges from large multinationals, universities and research organizations right down to small businesses and individual consumers.

"Agility: being able to facilitate the needs of clients instead of imposing rigid turnaround times and limited capabilities, is key to evolve into a true partner. The principle is simple: help your clients grow and inherently they will help you grow"​, says Marcel.

"For example: we are known for our quick turnaround of large projects in very tight time frames. Word gets around quickly and more and more projects of this nature are awarded to us."​

Quotations are typically issued within 2 hours after the original request. "Clients need us to be an extension of their organization, whether they use us once a year or ten times a month. Would your internal client accept it if you would need a day or more to provide him/her with a cost for something simple as a translation? Right - so why accept if from your translation vendor?"​, Marcel says.

DLS is based at Lelystad Airport, the Netherlands.
