Cecilia Bermúdez Horsten and Simona Gallo Mosala, the people behind Kwintessential Africa not only cover over 8 languages between the two of them and have over 20 years experience in the business, they also have a Masters in Practical Anthropology and a Phd in Socio-Economics from the University of Cape Town: they deeply understand the culture that creates and develops a language; they make sure their team translates your concepts and thoughts - not just words.

As a dynamic international company owned and run by a multi-cultural team, Kwintessential puts strong emphasis on cultural diversity, for translations and interpreting that are truly global.

Kwintessential was founded in 2003 in London, England at a time when the process of globalisation had cemented itself as the future and companies were increasingly needing to work across cultural and linguistic borders.

The company was established to ease the process of international business and multilingual business transactions through support services covering any needs falling under the umbrella of language and culture.

It has now grown dramatically in both size and scope to offer a number of services such as translation, interpreting, transcription, multilingual subtitling and voice-overs. These services are provided by a team of offices across the globe including the USA, Argentina, England, Dubai and South Africa/Namibia.

We cover all needs, all time zones, all languages and all cultures. We truly are the provider of cross-cultural and multilingual solutions.

Our Cape Town office, established in 2009, and our Windhoek office, established in 2011, are run by a team of dedicated Project Managers and Linguistic Consultants. We respond to clients quickly and efficiently, we work only with the best translators and interpreters in the continent and are proud to complete assignments of the highest quality tailored to the individual needs of our clients.
