Our History

Founded in 1990 as a technical writing company in South Korea, Hansem Global has grown into a global provider of technical content, translation, localization, and technology-driven solutions. For more than 35 years, we have helped businesses turn complex information into clear, accurate, and useful content for audiences worldwide.

Our growth has been driven by the evolving needs of our clients. As we gained a deeper understanding of their products, businesses, and operations, we expanded our capabilities to meet new challenges. What began with technical manuals grew to include multilingual documentation, training and sales content, multimedia, digital platforms, and customized solutions. Rather than limiting clients to predefined services, we have continually adapted what we do to what they need.

Technology has been central to this evolution. From early desktop publishing to our proprietary technology for automatically converting multilingual documents into responsive web content, and today's AI-powered tools, we have continually developed practical solutions tailored to our clients' needs. By combining multidisciplinary expertise with in-house technology, we have improved content production, reuse, and delivery across languages and devices.

Quality has remained a constant throughout our growth. Hansem Global holds ISO 9001, ISO 17100, ISO 18587, and ISO 27001 certifications. Our ISO 9001-certified technical documentation development process, supported by monthly quality reporting and continuous improvement, reflects our long-standing commitment to reliable delivery.

Our work has also earned international recognition. First ranked among CSA Research's Global Top 100 language service providers in 2016, Hansem Global reached #37 globally in 2026, alongside continued recognition in the Asia-Pacific region and manufacturing sector.

Beyond our business, we have supported charitable initiatives since 2004 and maintained an ongoing partnership with the Red Cross since 2011.

Today, our greatest strength remains the relationships we have built with our clients—understanding their changing needs, developing solutions around them, and growing together.
