Stoquart

What Stoquart does

Stoquart is a privately-held language services company headquartered in Mons, Belgium, founded in 1991 and operating through four wholly- or affiliated-owned offices in Belgium, France (Valbonne), Italy (Cascina near Pisa), and Canada (Montréal, via Stoquart Amériques, Inc.). The firm offers a unified portfolio spanning professional translation, software/website/app localization, transcreation, copywriting, terminology management, multilingual dubbing and subtitling, desktop publishing, and a dedicated multilingual marketing bundle covering SEO, SEA, social media management, content creation, and web development across 55+ languages. These services are coordinated through a proprietary Translation Management System (TMS) that handles multi-format file processing, progress tracking, and quality control. Customers include enterprise clients across automotive (Volvo), industrial/technology (Siemens), banking (Belfius), oncology (OncoDNA), aerospace (HT&T), and biotech (Exothera), as well as MLV (multilingual vendor) agencies that outsource translation workflows to Stoquart.

The business model is sales-led with a hybrid direct-sales and inside-sales motion: enterprise field sales through the four regional offices and an online quote-request form drive pipeline, with 30-day payment terms and deposits required on orders above €1,000. Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis (per source word, per target word, per page, per line, per hour, or flat-rate), with editing/proofreading/reformatting billed hourly. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company holds ISO 9001 (since 2001), ISO 17100, and ISO 18587 certifications and is GDPR-compliant, positioning it for regulated-industry procurement. Stoquart maintains leadership roles in industry bodies including GALA, Elia, BQTA (where Dimitri Stoquart serves as president), EUATC, and Unilingue, and operates affiliated entities (ETC Europe scrl, Version Internationale, Language and Business SL) extending its European footprint into Brussels, Lyon, and Barcelona.
