Case Study: Tetra Pak cuts translation costs and delivery time with Acolad

Tetra Pak cuts translation costs by 50% with Acolad

Tetra Pak, a global leader in food processing and packaging solutions, faced significant challenges in managing technical document translations across more than 160 countries. Their existing process, which involved multiple Language Service Providers (LSPs) using separate translation memories, was costly, slow, and failed to ensure terminology consistency. They partnered with Acolad to centralize and overhaul their approach.

Acolad implemented a centralized translation management system featuring a single terminology glossary and translation memory for use by all vendors. They also facilitated a switch to XML file exchange to preserve formatting. This solution provided Tetra Pak with a single source of truth for over 30 languages. As a result, Tetra Pak saved over 50% on translation costs and cut delivery times in half within two years, while also achieving vastly improved content consistency for end-users worldwide.
