Reliable translations by native speakers: Honyaku Corporation

A message from the President of Honyaku Corporation

Takeshi Harada
Representative Director President, Honyaku Corporation
Chairman, HIM Group

 Honyaku Corp., the core company of the HIM Group, was established in 1972. Ever since, we have been assisting the globalization strategies of Japanese companies.
 Today, political, economic, and social upheaval tends to occur on a global scale, and we are beginning to witness major impacts on both the private and public sectors. Another way of looking at this trend, however, is to understand it as the world demanding accelerated globalization and informatization from Japanese business and industry. To Japan's translation industry, this represents the advent of the greatest chance yet to contribute to the international community.
 In order to meet the diverse needs of our clients, we therefore constantly strive to improve our translation technique and to make possible the seemingly impossible: simultaneously raising quality, shortening turnaround, and increasing volume.
 We are putting particular effort into the multilingual translations required by globalizing corporations. In order to achieve and maintain the highest possible level of customer satisfaction, we have formed business tie-ups with language companies in Europe and the USA. This enables us to systematically ensure the quality of translations into local languages.
 As the core corporation of a comprehensive group of language companies, we are able to mobilize the resources of our affiliated companies, the temporary interpretation/translation staff placement service Mankind Associates Co., Ltd., and the language training and skills development service INTEC Communications Inc., to provide thorough service to assist clients with their globalization and informatization needs.
