Global by Design

Welocalize announced today that it had made the Inc 500 list for a second year in a row. The company moved up from 407 last year to 327 this year, with three-year sales growth of 409%.

The company announced last year that it generated $10.2 million in the first half of 2005. So that would make the company a $30 million company at the end of this year? It’s hard to say because there was an acquisition/merger in January of this year. Regardless, the company looks to be doing quite well.

UPDATE: I received a press release Friday from Welocalize announcing the completion of its merger with Asian translation agency Transco and confirming that they are now at the $30 million revenue mark. The company now has offices on three continents and a staff of 250.
