What Plint does

Plint AB is a Swedish media localisation company headquartered in Gothenburg that provides professional subtitling and dubbing services to streaming platforms, studios, and other content companies seeking to localise audiovisual content for global audiences. The company was founded in 2000 by five subtitlers and has operated for over two decades, building its practice from craft and linguistic expertise rather than from automation. Its service portfolio covers subtitle creation, dubbing production including voice casting and script adaptation, and ancillary offerings such as template creation, reformatting, archive re-versioning, subtitle burn-in, and graphics localisation.

Plint's technology stack is anchored by two proprietary assets. Strata is described as an intelligence layer that constructs structured models of content, voices, relationships, meaning, and the world the story comes from before any localisation output is generated, positioning quality as something built in rather than measured after the fact. Plint Core is the company's internally developed localisation platform, used to manage projects, resources, assignments, and customer data, and is hosted in a private AWS environment within the EU/EEA. The company has codified in its Terms & Conditions the right to employ machine translation engines, automatic speech recognition systems, large language models, and synthetic voices in delivery, and uses Media Shuttle (Signiant) as its standard secure file transfer mechanism. Plint holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification covering its information security management system.

Commercially, Plint operates a B2B enterprise sales motion in which customers initiate contact via website form or email and receive project-based quotations. Pricing is duration-based, invoiced per minute or per episode with partial minutes rounded up, and Additional Services such as re-deliveries, specification changes, and template creation are billed separately. The company appears to be founder- or management-owned, with no disclosed external investment, and is led by CEO Örjan Serner. Geographic operations are anchored in Gothenburg, with no disclosed offices or formal subsidiaries elsewhere.
