The Belimo Group is a leading global manufacturer of innovative actuator, valve, and sensor solutions for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. The Company reported sales of CHF 642 million in 2018 and has over 1,700 employees.

As a market leader in HVAC solutions, Belimo created a strong presence in over 80 countries. With their exponential global growth came the challenges of localization as they kept up with international demand.

• Over 60 scattered experts working on content translation
• Each location / department working with different language service providers (LSPs)
• Inconsistent messaging
• No overview of the overall cost spent on translations

Our plan to support Belimo with their globalized approach started with a classic centralization process. One of the main goals was to consolidate all translation work to a single location to avoid multiple efforts and processes by people in subsidiaries. It was decided all translation work would be centralized to Switzerland.

Second and most importantly, we worked with Belimo to evaluate their numerous suppliers and following the evaluation, we narrowed down to focus on three suppliers. By narrowing them down, we were able to implement automated in-country review and terminology management to ensure quality standards are met and exceeded – just like the Belimo (and Amplexor) mentality.

Once we were able to help Belimo centralize their linguistic processes, suppliers and their translation work, Belimo’s translation process became defined and seamless. They now have total transparency into their translation budget, as they are able to accurately track and record costs.

Most importantly, we were able to match Belimo’s “Quality First” mentality with the implementation of in-country review and terminology management. This lead to consistent messaging across all languages and a significant increase in translation quality.

In short, through centralization and the implementation of the right translation tools, we helped Belimo turn their brand promise of “Quality First” into a tangible action that improved their presence and trust with customers worldwide.
