The operating companies of the STAR7 group
Over the years, we have also grown through strategic acquisitions, operations chosen and performed with the goal of continuing to enhance our expertise and capacity in specific sectors and extending our presence in key markets.
These are the operating companies that help us do it.
LocalEyes
LocalEyes is an Irish company specialized in content translation and localization. In particular, it has longstanding expertise in the IT and Multimedia sectors, in particular.
LocalEyes was established in 1997 to support Apple in globalizing its brand, and has grown alongside the Cupertino-based tech giant (above all in Europe), providing technical and customer-facing content translation and localization. Over this time, it has evolved and innovated its own know-how to offer increasingly value-added services. The company now has 12 offices across Europe and one in San Francisco, employing a total of 150 people.
The acquisition of LocalEyes is a key milestone for STAR7, allowing it to gain significant know-how in the tech sector, consolidate its presence in the European and US markets and add the high-profile, prestigious Apple brand to its portfolio of prominent global customers.
IAMdev
IAMdev, a company specializing in the development of software for web, apps, project management and e-commerce, has been working with STAR7 for several years. As long-standing suppliers in creating and developing technical documentation on the web, we’ve always had a privileged relationship with them. Toward the end of 2020, we thought it was time for both of us to change the paradigm of our relationship and become partners: STAR7 took a 33% stake in the company, consolidating the existing tie and extending its capacity to develop the digitalization of technical documentation.
Vertere
Vertere s.r.l., based in Piacenza, was founded in 1994 as a translation agency specialized in the fields of machine tools and automation. Anticipating market demands, in 1996 it was among the first companies in Italy to implement Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) tools in its workflows, successfully marketing itself as a partner for the management of assisted translation projects.
Today, Vertere's workforce consists of project managers and in-house translators certified in the use of SDL Trados products, as well as experienced IT experts. The Company also relies on a worldwide network of more than 200 translators, reviewers and external collaborators, spanning a range of skills and specializations.
