Kennis is a translation company with a difference. Quality is upmost in everybody's minds yet there is a friendly, family-like culture that allows the entire team to continually improve in an optimal environment. This team mentality is what drives the company forward, providing a foundation that is conducive to excellent work. There is an individual and collective pride in the work we produce, which sets Kennis apart from all other companies I have come across in the industry.
