    Layout coordination

    We brief your design studio (or ours), fit copy to artwork and resolve every layout query.

    Print‑ready release

About Birgit

Twenty years matching the right expert to every word.

"Match every project with the right specialist. Work with precision down to the last comma. Then clients will be happy."

That's the credo Birgit M. Floss has run on since founding bmf text+ in 2000. Two decades in, a small core team in Schwerte and a worldwide network of more than 1,000 freelance translators, transcreators and subject‑matter experts make sure every pet food brief — declaration, packaging, campaign — lands with the linguist who actually knows the category.

Pet food Translations is the dedicated practice we've built around the industry: declarations that pass authorities, marketing texts that hit the mark, and a translation manager who picks up the phone.
