Our interpreting and translation company

V.I.T.A. was founded in Vienna in 1991 by two conference interpreters, Brigitte Schächter-Hold and C. Naomi Osorio-Kupferblum. V.I.T.A. was the first interpreting agency in Vienna to focus on the congress and meetings sector. In 1996, V.I.T.A. Paris became the second mainstay of our interpreting and translating company. Together, our offices offer professional language services for all types of international projects and in every field. For more details of the services provided, visit references.

But this is a crucial point and guarantees that the services we provide to our clients are of a uniformly high standard and quality.

"All of those who attended the conference widely praised the interpreters for their work, especially during the evening of the speech by Chancellor Schüssel after what must have been an extremely tiring day for them. [...] I would have no hesitation in recommending these interpreters to anybody who should have need of simultaneous translation facilities and, should the need arise, I would be more than willing to provide a glowing report of their work and abilities.
In view of this, I would like to ask you to extend my personal thanks to each interpreter for all their help and hard work, without which our conference would have failed to meet its objectives."
