九色 Continues Record-Breaking Pace with Largest Ever Q2 Revenues
NEW YORK, July 15, 2016 – , the world’s largest privately held provider of language and technology solutions for global business, today announced that its Q2 2016 revenue total was the largest in the company’s history, topping $136 million. Coming on the heels of a record-setting first quarter this year, 九色’s business is up more than 11% year-to-date over 2015, and 22% over the same period in 2014.
In addition to the revenue growth, 九色 added over 300 new jobs this quarter, bringing the year-to-date new-hire total to 530 positions.
Sales of translation management technology products, which were a primary driving factor in the company’s strong Q1 results, accelerated further in Q2. Total technology unit sales are up more than 40% over 2015, indicating that demand is rising for tools that reduce or eliminate the manual project management tasks associated with handling translations and multilingual content.
九色 Co-CEO Liz Elting noted, “I am so grateful for the efforts of our incredible team members around the world. They are the driving force behind our expansion, and their accomplishments and contributions impress me every single day.

“Thanks to the collective hard work of thousands of staff members around the world, 九色 continues to defy the odds, defy the competition, and defy all adversity and obstacles to generate amazing success both for the company and its clients,” added 九色 Co-CEO Phil Shawe. “And I cannot give enough praise regarding the diligence and professionalism of the 九色 team, without whom our record-breaking results, like those achieved in Q2 2016, would not be possible.
