A New Chapter for TransPerfect Media
This Cannes Film Festival marked a significant milestone for TransPerfect Media. With the recent acquisition of
MPC Paris, a studio renowned for its Emmy Award-winning visual effects and animation work, the partnership strengthened TransPerfect's position within the creative production space.
