MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Brink Global Solutions, LLC, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and euroscript International, S.A., Bertrange, Luxembourg, officially announced the formation of BGS euroscript Inc., a joint venture company based in Minneapolis. This new entity is the first foray into the United States market for euroscript, which has offices in 15 other countries and is one of the 10 largest language service providers (LSP) worldwide.
The Brink Global Solutions founders, Jeff Brink and Greg Brink, bring to the organization a long history of excellence in the U.S. language services industry. For more than 20 years, the Brinks have been prominent in the U.S. market, widely recognized for their success, leadership and innovation.
“Greg and I determined the ideal approach for our new company was to partner with a large, quality-focused, technology-driven LSP based in Europe – one that wasn’t established in the U.S., yet was interested in addressing the large U.S. market,” said Jeff Brink, President of BGS euroscript. “euroscript is the perfect partner for us. Its reputation, resources and global footprint enable us to immediately leverage our extensive industry knowledge, relationships and technology expertise.”
“BGS euroscript has complete access to all of euroscript’s outstanding services,” continued Greg Brink, BGS euroscript Senior VP of sales. “Through euroscript’s existing infrastructure and robust technology platform, as well as its expansive services around the world, we at BGS euroscript will bring clients an extremely impressive offering.”

It delivers comprehensive solutions in the fields of consulting, system integration, language services and document management. Its global clients span a variety of business sectors including the public sector, aerospace, defense and transport, manufacturing, life sciences, financial services and energy and environment. Clients include ABB, Alcatel-Lucent, Air France, BNP Paribas, Bombardier, Business Wire, Credit Suisse, EU Institutions, GE Healthcare, IBM, Manitowoc, Merck, Rheinmetall, Siemens, Terex, UBS and United Technologies. Current revenues are approximately $140 million.
“We have been assessing various market entry-point opportunities in the U.S. for some time,” said Mark Evenepoel, CEO of euroscript International. “The U.S. market offers significant potential for our services. Partnering with the Brinks, who are well known and highly respected in the LSP business, we will be able to quickly establish a U.S. market presence. BGS euroscript will be positioned to provide the most comprehensive integrated multilingual content management solutions in the industry.”
According to Common Sense Advisory Inc., the global language services market is estimated to be approximately $26 billion, with the North American market comprising about 48 percent, or $13 billion. By 2013, these markets are projected to grow to $38 billion and $18 billion, respectively. BGS euroscript is confident this new relationship strongly positions it to capture a significant portion of the growing U.S. language services market.
