[Trademarks: Brewer Dictionary, 928] See : Luxury , Ford, Chrysler, and Rover as first tier clients, and second tier clients including Bosch, Delphi, and Lucas. Increasingly, we see the progressive players in this industry shifting away from dealing with dozens of small- and medium-sized translation providers in the various regions of the world, and working with a few selected worldwide partners with whom they can share the project management workload of very large and complex localization and translation projects. As such companies move to streamline their documentation function, they often qualify a limited number of vendors who have demonstrated the ability to effectively handle high volume, rapid turnaround projects with consistently high quality results. ALPNET has demonstrated that we have the capability and confidence of auto companies to deal with large, high volume, technically complex projects, and this new task force allows us to bring our worldwide capability and experience to the attention of a larger number of clients, by targeting our marketing and sales to this industry on a worldwide basis." Seal went on to say that, "This Task Force will be led by Dr. Francois Massion, the Country manager of ALPNET-Germany, and will be managed out of our Stuttgart office. Dr. Massion will centrally coordinate and direct our worldwide marketing and sales efforts to this industry, which in the past have been handled by management personnel in various ALPNET offices around the world. Stuttgart was chosen because it is a major center of European automotive manufacturing and ALPNET-Germany currently produces a high volume of work for this industry out of this office. Other ALPNET offices which will play a major role in the automotive task force include Montreal, and Singapore, but nearly all ALPNET offices will be involved from the standpoint of producing work into local languages and/or selling our services to locally-based automotive or automotive related companies."
