Case Study: PETKUS Technologie GmbH achieves centralized translation management and consistent global terminology with RWS (SDL Trados Studio & SDL MultiTerm)

PETKUS Reaps the Rewards of Effective Translation Management

PETKUS Technologie GmbH is a 350‑employee German specialist in seed treatment and grain technology (founded 1852) with a global footprint. The company needed to keep technical documentation and marketing content consistent across ten languages, but had no centralized translation management: translators and vendors kept local memories and glossaries, causing duplicated translations, poor terminology consistency, high costs and slow updates.

PETKUS implemented SDL Trados Studio with SDL MultiTerm to centralize translation memories and a company termbase, with a single coordinator managing workflows and feeding translations back into the system. The change enabled content reuse, faster project creation, easier collaboration with local translators, eliminated duplicate work, reduced time and cost, and significantly improved translation consistency and access to corporate terminology.
