The company

Jonckers is a tech-enabled language services provider, offering a comprehensive language management platform to help its enterprise customers communicate effectively with diverse audiences worldwide. The company’s unique approach combines adaptive machine translation and AI technology with human expertise. Jonckers employs 170 people and around 2,700 freelance translators to service a global client base that includes Amazon, Microsoft and Adobe.

The investment

Operating in a fragmented market, Jonckers is well-positioned to deliver organic growth and consolidation through strategic acquisitions. Mayfair is backing management’s plan to solidify Jonckers’ position as a leading language services provider, leveraging fast-evolving AI technology to deliver innovation across the industry and for Jonckers’ blue chip clients. 

Our partnership

Mayfair is working closely with management in several areas including customer insight and sales effectiveness, technology & data, marketing effectiveness, product leadership, integration planning, and international expansion.

“We’re excited to be working with Mayfair. Their impressive track record of helping tech companies to scale, and the unique skillset of their Specialist team, make them the ideal partner to deliver our ambitious growth plan. This includes the ongoing provision of market-leading translation services to blue chip brands, investment in innovative AI and the pursuit of new, strategic M&A opportunities”.
