Specialized Language Support for Technical and Chemical Industry Communication
The Challenge
A Czech company specializing in the production of materials for corrosion protection, sealing, and noise & vibration reduction in the automotive sector entered into a long-term strategic partnership with a leading Chinese manufacturer.
The collaboration was based on sharing technical expertise and coordinating complex production and application processes. For the partnership to succeed, every detail had to be communicated precisely and without ambiguity across languages and cultures.
Meetings took place in Czech, Chinese, and English – both during on-site visits and via video conferences – and often included other international stakeholders, such as partners from Switzerland. Because of the highly technical and partly chemical nature of the products, the company required an interpreting partner who could:
understand industry-specific terminology connected with production and application processes,
be available beyond standard working hours,
respond quickly to urgent requests,
adapt communication style to different cultural expectations.
The Solution
Skrivanek provided comprehensive interpreting support tailored to this demanding cooperation between Czech and Chinese partners. We assigned an experienced interpreter with deep knowledge of the automotive industry, including chemical materials and application technologies.
The service was delivered in two key modes:
On-site interpreting during visits to production facilities, product testing sessions, and business negotiations in the Czech Republic.
Remote interpreting for video conferences with the Chinese partner and other international participants, often scheduled at short notice and outside standard working hours.
Throughout the project, our focus was on:
accurate rendering of specialized terminology,
smooth and efficient communication even in fast-paced discussions,
proactive handling of cultural and linguistic nuances that could influence business outcomes.
The Results
Thanks to thorough preparation and a high level of flexibility, Skrivanek’s language support became an integral part of the client’s international collaboration.
Our interpreting services enabled:
successful execution of complex technical negotiations without language barriers,
efficient transfer of knowledge regarding production processes, logistics, and product development,
stronger trust and confidence between partners, where precision in communication was critical.
Client Perspective
This project illustrates how professional interpreting can ensure seamless cooperation in technically demanding international ventures. We value the client’s strong expertise, openness, and emphasis on precision – qualities that align closely with our own.
Our priority was to provide a reliable service that could adapt to evolving needs – from urgent interpreting requests to detailed preparation for high-stakes technical meetings. We believe that the combination of subject-matter expertise, flexibility, and a long-term commitment forms the foundation of successful cooperation with growth potential for the future.
Conclusion
Interpreting support continues to play a vital role in this collaboration today – whether for important business meetings, scheduled consultations, or unexpected video calls. Skrivanek remains a trusted partner, ensuring that communication never stands in the way of progress.
