In 2001, Willemetz Consultants merged with OCT to create CPW. OCT, which was established in 1973, brought with it a premium franchise of clients in the financial and industrial sectors and a complementary mix of capabilities, notably in the areas of interpreting and computer-assisted translation (CAT). The company now places over 30 years’ combined experience in the language services sector at the disposal of a pan-European and US client base.

Willemetz Consultants, which is the new company’s financial translation arm, offers banks and financial institutions a full range of products and services, based on the application of a "one-stop shopping" concept to multi lingual financial communication. The company has an in-house team of translators based in Paris and London that handles all documents in language combinations involving French, English and German. Working with a range of proprietary terminology databases and reference sources, this in-house team allows us to remain highly responsive and meet our clients’ needs for rapid turnaround times. In addition, we work with a carefully selected global network of translators in other language combinations, enabling us to provide a comprehensive and cost-effective solution to multi-lingual translation and interpreting needs.
