Berlin 1990. Angelica Ivanetti and Hans Rasmussen form a partnership, initially as Swedish and Danish translators, at unitext GmbH.
In September 1991, Rasmussen & Ivanetti I/S was set up in Aarhus as a Danish division of unitext, which continued to operate in Berlin.
Scantext was founded on 1 December 1993 as a German-Scandinavian partnership providing quality translations of technical texts – at that time under the name of unitext oversættelser ApS.
After five years of Danish/German ownership, the company became wholly Danish-owned in 1998 under the name of Scantext oversættelser ApS.
Over the years, our core business area has developed significantly. Scantext now has clients and partners on all continents and communicates and produces documentation in all major languages.
With our experienced translators, a solid quality assurance process, state-of-the-art IT management and client-focused project management, we create a top-quality product in close partnership with our clients – in both the business community and public sector institutions.
Despite increasing globalisation, we always use translators who translate into their native language to ensure that the national language is always reproduced in a style that is contemporary, effortless and correct.
