MONTEREY, Calif., Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Highlighting a year in which the company is celebrating its 40^th anniversary in Monterey, LanguageLine Solutions has won the 2022 Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Award.

Now in its 40th year, LanguageLine wins Business Excellence Award

In 1982, LanguageLine Solutions was founded in Monterey. The city has long been known as the "Language Capital of the World" thanks to the presence of the Defense Language Institute, Monterey Institute for International Studies, Naval Post-Graduate School, and LanguageLine.

"Forty years ago, LanguageLine was launched in the laundry room of a Monterey rental home," President and CEO Scott W. Klein said. "Since then, we have grown to be one of the largest employers in Monterey County – not to mention one that has the privilege of helping the world with every client interaction. We are deeply grateful to all who voted, and we cherish this recognition."

Today LanguageLine is the world leader in on-demand interpretation and translation, providing one-touch access to more than 17,000 linguists in more than 240 languages. The company has more than 30,000 clients and handles over 60 million interactions annually.

Klein said that while LanguageLine is a global company, it has always stayed close to its Monterey roots.

"The Monterey region has long symbolized hard work, loyalty, and dedication to craft," Klein said. "We think LanguageLine symbolizes these attributes, as well. To receive this award as we also celebrate our 40^th year of existence makes the recognition extra-special."
