ARKADIA GROUP HAS ACQUIRED THE GERMAN COMPANY, ALINEA, THUS CONSOLIDATING ITS POSITION AS A BENCHMARK OF QUALITY IN THE FINANCIAL SECTOR.
Arkadia Group is further expanding its international profile by establishing a foothold in Germany, following on from the opening of our Brussels office in 2015
Milan, 3 December 2024 – ArKadia Group, an Italian company that has been providing multilingual services for over twenty years, is pleased to announce the acquisition of the German company ALinea, a major player in the financial translation sector. This acquisition is a strategic move aimed at strengthening ArKadia Group’s presence in a key market such as Germany, thus consolidating its position as a leader in the financial sector.
With this acquisition, ArKadia Group continues its internationalisation process, which began with the opening of its Brussels office in 2015.
This acquisition is an important signal in the multilingual services sector, which is undergoing significant changes. According to the latest data from Nimdzi on the performance of the sector, it is set to grow steadily, albeit moderately, over the next five years. The sector is benefiting from globalisation, expansion into international markets and a focus on linguistic inclusivity, while facing the challenge of technological innovation that is completely changing the way business is done.
“When the paths of ArKadia Group and ALinea first crossed, it was immediately clear that they shared deeply held values, a clear focus on the customer and an extremely high quality of service,” said Katya Aricci, Founder and CEO of ArKadia Group. “The financial and legal sectors have also been ArKadia’s main areas of focus since the company’s establishment. The ability to offer a wider range of services, increasingly innovative and of the highest quality, has led us to this transaction, which will allow us to extend our territorial reach and be closer to very strategically important clients, such as those in Germany, but also in Switzerland and the UK. With this acquisition, ALinea’s clients will have access to the diverse and innovative multilingual services offered by ArKadia Group, while continuing to benefit from an excellent and personalised service. Combining the skills and resources of ArKadia Group with those of ALinea is a great opportunity to bring to market processes and services that integrate the most advanced technologies while meeting the current and changing needs of our clients,” concluded Katya Aricci.
ArKadia and ALinea are truly a perfect match. They have identical backgrounds and share the same philosophy and values. ALinea is now part of ArKadia Group – a natural next step with great potential for our customers to enter a whole new league of multilingual communication.” Susanne Eifler, Founder of ALinea.
The agreement, finalised on 6 November 2024, is a major transaction that further strengthens the internationalisation process of ArKadia Group. The financial terms of the agreement have not been disclosed.
During this phase, the two companies will continue to operate under their respective brands while integrating complementary resources, systems and expertise to maximise value for customers, partners and all stakeholders.
The acquisition just completed by ArKadia Group reflects the dynamism of the market and the foresight of an Italian company that continues to look positively to the future, investing resources to expand into new countries and strengthen its long-standing leadership in the financial translation sector, where ALinea is a leading player.
