Our Story
Bringing Worlds and Words Together to Create Opportunities
Since 1989, Seprotec Multilingual Solutions has been at the forefront of providing multilingual services as part of the former GrupoSepro parent company. In 2020, we established Seprotec as a separate legal entity, marking a new chapter in our mission to deliver top-quality professional language services and solutions globally. Initially focused on technical translations, including patents, we quickly expanded to cover financial, legal, chemical, medical, pharmaceutical, energy, and manufacturing sectors, setting the stage for our growth and expertise.
Throughout the 2000s, the company experienced significant growth and innovation. We pioneered over-the-phone interpreting services, opened our first international office in London, and by 2009, earned global recognition as a top language service provider. Our services expanded to include software and website localization, remote interpreting solutions, and an innovative project in the intellectual property sector. Today, Seprotec operates in over 220 languages, merging its diverse expertise in translation, interpreting, intellectual property, and technology into a unique portfolio of language solutions. Strategic acquisitions and partnerships, such as the majority stake acquisition by Nazca Capital in 2021, have further strengthened our market reach and capabilities.
