Company history

Company history

The translation firm HK Translations was founded in 2005. A two-year stay in Hong Kong by the company’s founder, German attorney Holger Knoblauch, led to the formation of the company there as HK Translation Services Ltd. After his return from Asia, the enterprise was continued in Germany – since 2008 as HK Translation Services GmbH. Until the beginning of 2023, Holger Knoblauch catered to a steadily growing international customer base from company headquarters in Ludwigshafen am Rhein with a global team of translation specialists from the areas of law, business & finance.

While the registered office of the GmbH and the proven network of dozens of highly qualified translators are still located in Germany, the founder and owner, Holger Knoblauch, relocated to Asia once more in February 2023: in Singapore, he founded the local company HK Language Services Pte Ltd, which provides all language services for the Singapore market. All services for customers in Germany and the rest of the world continue to be provided by the GmbH in Germany. Please click here for the contact information for both the German GmbH and the company in Singapur.

The clients of HK Translations include leading national and international law firms as well as global corporate players and renowned financial institutions. The scope of our translation work ranges from legal agreements of all kind, legal briefs, expert opinions, company transformation documentations, securities prospectuses and annual reports all the way to company guidelines/policies, presentations, press releases, business correspondence and website content.
