Our history

... It was 1990...

In 1990, a small translation company was founded in the heart of Italy that would become synonymous with excellence in the field of languages:
Rapitrad

The vision was clear: to offer high-quality translation, interpreting, language courses and language consulting services.

Not only the Italian market...

But Rapitrad has not confined itself to serving only the Italian market. Before long, the company began to expand its horizons and started working with customers both in Italy and abroad. Each project was handled with the utmost care, and the company acquired an enviable reputation. Membership of the prestigious association of Italian Industrialists Confindustria Servizi Innovativi, through Unilingue, the most important Italian association of translation companies, further consolidated the company’s position in the market. And, in recognition of its dedication to quality, Rapitrad has been awarded ISO 9001 and ISO 17100 certification.

The success of Rapitrad

But perhaps one of the most tangible examples of Rapitrad's success has been its collaboration with global companies such as Credit Suisse and the translation divisions of the European Commission. These are the kind of partnerships that every translation company wants, and Rapitrad has secured them through commitment and professionalism. At the center of this triumph is a key figure: the CEO of Rapitrad. Not only does he successfully guide the company, but he is also a prominent figure in the European language scene. As President of Unilingue and Ambassador of EUATC - European Union of Associations of Translation Companies at the European Commission, his impact reaches far beyond the scope of the company. His passion for foreign languages and translation has taken him to the lecture halls of Europe's most prestigious universities, such as the Sorbonne in Paris and London Metropolitan University. In addition, his role on the Teaching Board of the Trieste School of Interpreters and as a speaker at various institutions has benefited countless students and professionals. Rapitrad, with its 30-year history, is proof that dedication, passion and the will to excel can lead to extraordinary results. Today, as we look back on the company's achievements, we are eager to see what the future holds for this jewel of the Italian language industry.
