What our customers say about us

kothes_Kundenstimmen_SIG-1

"kothes took over this responsibility many years ago, not only for the creation of technical documentation for SIG, but also for the processing of daily business, translations, reprography and even hosting the Content Management System. This gives us more freedom to concentrate on our main task: the further development of carton packaging systems. Over the years we've come to know kothes, not only as a trustworthy and competent partner, but also as a company that's always available to advise us on the appropriate steps to take for the future of our technical documentation. Of course, this only works if you move, yourself! We're looking forward to continued successful cooperation."

Dirk Noske, Head of Legal Compliance & Documentation

kothes_Kundenstimmen_Krautzberger

"As a Technical Editor, I deal with challenging, technical texts on a daily basis. Since our products are in demand all over the world, a good translation is essential.

The translations are of high quality, they're carried out promptly and every deadline has always been met. The positive feedback from many customers speaks for itself. There are certainly many translation service providers, but our successful cooperation with kothes and their friendly contacts makes it an easy decision to stay with them."
