Founded in Brussels in 2012, Lylo has built a strong presence throughout Europe and maintains studios in France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Morocco. The company counts leading entertainment companies such as Viacom Group (MTV, Paramount), Discovery Channel, Toei, Ubisoft, and HBO among its clients.

Lylo will become a division of the TransPerfect family of companies and will continue to be led by Founder and CEO Grégoire Parcollet. Parcollet will hold the title of Division President at the corporate level and will join TransPerfect's senior management team, reporting to Barnaby Wass, Senior Vice President.

TransPerfect has grown rapidly in the media space, including recently announced deals to acquire Lassostudios, Sublime Subtitling & Translation, and AGM Factory. The company has invested heavily in providing the most advanced dubbing, voiceover, and subtitling services, including AI-powered solutions, to clients through its Media.NEXT platform. Merging with Lylo is a major step in the company's move to increase its global network of owned and operated studios. This deal complements TransPerfect's existing infrastructure while significantly boosting European production capabilities. Furthermore, it strengthens TransPerfect's overall commitment to the media localization market, including continued investment in technology solutions aimed at streamlining the media localization process.

Lylo's YouDub cloud technology will be integrated with TransPerfect's Media.NEXT AI-powered platform, as well as the company's GlobalLink translation management technology. The result will provide clients with an end-to-end media localization solution that will significantly improve the speed and efficiency with which customers can release content internationally.

Grégoire Parcollet commented, "In TransPerfect, we found a partner who clearly shares our vision for the future of our industry. Their investment in technology is a clear sign that they are committed to innovating and truly disrupting dubbing and subtitling for the media and entertainment industry. Joining forces promises to provide Lylo clients and employees alike with a host of new opportunities."

TransPerfect President and CEO Phil Shawe stated, "Lylo's technology vision has been an integral part of their company identity, and that has us extremely excited about what our unified teams will accomplish together. We want to extend a heartfelt welcome to all members of the Lylo family, and we look forward to working together to provide service and tech solutions that will benefit our combined customers in the entertainment space."
