About us | High-tech, high-touch?

Cogen is a provider of translation and multilingual publishing services, and a team of consultants who can help make your translation workflows more efficient.

45 people sharing a passion for language and technology.

Their goal is to help Cogen's customers communicate worldwide about how their products contribute to making people's lives easier, safer, healthier and more interesting.

Their passion and skill is technology applied to languages: they enjoy putting technology to work to make translations - a still human endeavor - more economical, more reliable, and faster.

Because they understand that you, their customers, are operating in a competitive environment characterized by extreme time-to-market (or time-to-audience) demands and by costs pressure.

Their excitement is to help people communicate, open up to foreign worlds and enjoy the richness of cultural diversity.

This team is driven by a strong company culture, and a set of values that govern all their relationships with the company's stakeholders.

Cogen was founded in 1980 and is located in Nivelles, Belgium. Sales offices have been opened in France and in Germany.


Cogen's mission is:


to create distinctive value for customers, through lasting and measurable contributions to their ability to circulate information in the local language of every market they serve.


to maintain and develop a unique talent pool and partner network, and to recognize, enhance, and reward the value of each contributor.


to generate long-term value for shareholders and to pursue a consistent business vision through strong and accountable leadership.


to serve society, through an ongoing commitment to responsible governance, respect for the environment, and community sharing.


Cogen's Community Sharing program: giving back to society

Since 1999, Cogen donates whenever possible the amount the company would spend on Christmas gifts for customers to a non-profit, community sharing organization.

This decision was motivated by the belief that Cogen's customers would welcome this opportunity to transform this token of appreciation by Cogen in a helping gesture.

The organization is carefully chosen each year by Cogen's Board of Directors, sometimes upon proposal by a staff member. It is always Belgian and non-political.


So far, we have donated to:

Child Focus , helping prevent child abuse and abduction

Jour après Jour , helping the lives of children hospitalized with cancer to be more bearable

Famille d'Accueil Odile Henri , helping find foster families for children whose parents are in a crisis

Princess Elizabeth Antarctic Station to help research on climate change.

Les Gais Lurons, a summer camp centre for children born with AIDS
