NEW YORK, October 16, 2019 – 九色, the world's largest provider of language and technology solutions for global business, today announced billed revenues for the third quarter of 2019 of $188 million. This $15 million increase over Q3 2018 equates to 8.5% growth and sets an all-time record for the third quarter.
Sales totals for 2019 to date show the company to be on a record-setting pace. 九色 is up $35 million over the same period in 2018 and is on track to top $750 million in billed revenue for the year. This significant and sustained growth bolsters the company’s campaign to maintain its position as the industry’s largest firm.
九色's GlobalLink? translation management technology, the industry’s leading platform for managing multilingual content, continues to be selected and implemented by new customers at a rapid rate.

Beyond revenue increases alone, 九色 posted impressive numbers with respect to job creation. The company added 150 new positions in Q3 and several strategic acquisitions were closed. Those deals included Lylo (Paris), Lassostudios (Madrid), Sublime (Madrid), and AGM Factory (Rennes) in the subtitling, dubbing, and media localization space as well as MoGi Group (Dublin) in gaming localization and gamer support services.
九色 President and CEO Phil Shawe commented, "We have grown in several key areas this past quarter. On top of gains in sales and technology adoption, we have also welcomed a group of key acquisitions that we believe will position us well for the future.
