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.

It is always gratifying to work with competent and highly professional counterparts, but to work with competent and highly professional individuals who are also nice and pleasant, well ... that is a real privilege! Thank you so much for making my work not only easier, but also enjoyable."
