13 May 2012 - RussTech Language Services, Inc. is pleased to announce that it has signed a partnership agreement with CRDF Solutions of Arlington, VA to join forces in offering services to the international science and technology community.

RussTech, which is headquartered in Tallahassee FL, specializes in the translation of technical documentation, scientific reports, legal documents and business financials - particularly concerning developments in energy, state-of-the-art equipment, and biotechnology. A comprehensive language services company founded in 1994, RussTech has completed assignments in more than sixty languages.

CRDF, which was authorized by the United States Congress, was established in 1995 as an independent nonprofit organization by the National Science Foundation. It provides financial, project management, and IT services to organizations in support of their collaborative scientific research, educational, and charitable activities. CRDF Solutions has facilitated the international collaborations of over 200 organizations including government agencies, universities, research institutions, private foundations, professional societies, and for-profit companies. Over $300 million in client funds have been securely administered in the Middle East, North Africa, South/Southeast Asia, Central/Eastern Europe, and Latin America.

Both organizations work closely with the United States Department of Energy and its national laboratories, and this new partnership represents a natural outgrowth of their business activities. 

RussTech and CRDF Solutions have combined their intellectual resources to create an effective and mutually beneficial partnership. CRDF Solutions can provide essential business services to RussTech clients as they expand their international activities into new regions. In return, RussTech can assist CRDF clients with all foreign language needs, including on-site interpretation, website translation, and desktop publishing. 

Dr. Marilyn Young, RussTech President & CEO, expressed great optimism about the new partnership. “CRDF Solutions has learned how to help companies avoid the most serious pitfalls in international business development. I believe the synergy that has been established between our two organizations will be very effective in promoting the interests of our respective clients.”
