ABOUT US
Asian Business Development, Inc. (ABD) is a multi-service company based in San Francisco, California, U.S.A. specializing in the translation, typesetting, and printing of foreign language bilingual business cards from English into Chinese, Japanese, Korean and many other languages.
History
Established in 1972, ABD Inc., formerly China Cultural Printing Company, was among the first in North America to offer high quality Chinese and Japanese photo typesetting. Today, ABD Inc. continues to provide clients ranging from individuals to multi-national corporations with high quality custom Asian business card translation and computer typesetting services.
In 1997, ABD Inc. expanded its business scope to include world-class product design and Asian manufacturing liaison services through its award-winning Metaform Product Development division.
Mission
ABD Inc.'s mission is simple...to make you and your company more successful through effective international communication. We want to help you foster greater understanding and closer relationships with your friends, customers, and business associates overseas.
Experience
With nearly 40 years of experience, ABD is one of the most trusted, longest standing Asian business card specialists in North America. ABD Inc. is noted in the language localization industry for our ability to transcribe words within their context instead of through mere literal translation. All of our translators are native speakers so you get your message across with optimal clarity and without the complications commonly found with translators who understand the language but not the cultural make-up of their readers. You will not hear chuckles, embarrass yourself, or offend your hosts when you present them with our business card translations.
Design Difference
Many translation firms are heavy-handed when it comes to the graphic layout of business cards. They rarely take the extra time to fine tune the details such as margins, spacing, or point sizes. Unlike most translation firms where the translator typesets and simply places text, ABD Inc. couples its translators with professional designers who have an eye and sensitivity towards graphic design. Our cards are both legible and aesthetically pleasing. Our designers strive to adhere to and embody the unique attributes of your corporate identity. Your cards will read well and look great!
Quality
The quality of our work is evidenced by the fact that the vast majority of our clients are repeat customers or come to us via word of mouth referrals. We also possess long standing contracts with some of the world's largest corporations. The quality of our work speaks for itself, just review our samples and compare. Our professional bilingual business card service was even featured in the book "Japanese Business Etiquette: A Practical Guide to Success with the Japanese" by Diana Rowland.
Service
Value is at the heart of customer satisfaction. We believe in providing clients with prompt, courteous service at very reasonable rates. Although we are a relatively small company, we have served clients from individuals to multinational corporations for nearly the past 40 years. We look forward to doing the same for you!
