“We have a dedicated Project Manager and the service is fast so I’m very content with that.” Having been Howden’s vendor of choice for well over a decade now we’re delighted to continue this long-running relationship.”
Not everyone knows the difference between Centrifugal and Reciprocating Compressors – but almost everyone will rely on the kind of technology that uses them. This just so happens to be Howden’s area of expertise. Having been in business for over a century now, they boast an unrivalled depth of knowledge and experience in the sector. Their ongoing mission is to bring about a more sustainable world through their service to their customer base which spans over 100 countries.
A company of this level of success and scale relies on a large body of employees. Noëlle Kooter (Communications Manager) relies on McFelder for ongoing translation support with regards to internal communications for four business units in Europe.
That’s somewhat of a simplification though. As you might imagine, corporate comms for such a company come with their own very specific technical terminology – something our translators absolutely must have a handle on. Howden employ thousands of individuals around the world – and Howden Centrifugal & Reciprocating Compressors cover a sizeable portion of this workforce (around 300-400 people). Naturally, it’s a group that represents a range of languages. This means it’s important for our translations to reflect a certain local authenticity (as opposed to the clumsy results that free translation software is limited to). On top of that, there’s the company’s carefully considered corporate values which need to shine bright from every sentence. There are quite a few plates to be kept spinning here.
“For me McFelder is a big timesaver. They have been our preferred vendor ever since the start of my career at Howden.” Noelle tells us. As well as making good use of our user-friendly online editor software (which allows her to modify and amend the live translations) there are other perks to a partnership with McFelder. “We have a dedicated Project Manager too and the service is fast so I’m very content with that.” Having been Howden’s vendor of choice for well over a decade now we’re delighted to continue this long-running relationship.
