Your local partner between Korea and Kazakhstan
We do more than translate words. In meeting rooms and factories, clinics and government offices, we help people from Korea and Kazakhstan reach full understanding.
What we do
From our office in Almaty we work in 20 languages, mainly Korean, Russian and Kazakh. Since May 2024 we have completed more than 480 projects, almost half of them involving Korean.
For Korean companies entering Kazakhstan we also register LLPs and branches, arrange visas and find accountants and lawyers. That is why clients call us a local partner rather than a translation agency.
