Hitachi Construction Machinery Europe

“Hitachi considers Yamagata to be an extremely reliable partner in the area of localisation/translation. The collaboration between Yamagata and Hitachi began in 2003, and since that time Yamagata has always proven to be able to offer a good solution for the many projects, file formats and languages with which Hitachi has worked. In addition to localisation, Yamagata also handles the printing and binding of Hitachi service manuals. Today our work involves a very extensive collection of manuals, but Yamagata has also been able to offer us suitable solutions for legacy material from more than 10 years ago. For Hitachi, the strong aspects of Yamagata in comparison to others are the knowledge and skill to be able to work with many file formats, the quality, and the reliability in meeting deadlines. Concerning price, no one else can really compete, and I find that less important anyway. A partner that works with us to develop a more efficient workflow that is less expensive and faster—optimisation thus—is, in my opinion, much more valuable.”
