Bowne Global Solutions

Bowne Global Solutions was a leading global provider of localization and translation services, specializing in the adaptation of software, technical documentation, and marketing materials for international markets. Within the life sciences sector, the company provided critical regulatory-compliant translation services for clinical trial protocols, informed consent forms, medical device manuals, and pharmaceutical labeling. The company operated as a major division of Bowne & Co. before being acquired by Lionbridge Technologies in 2005. This acquisition created the world's largest localization firm at the time, significantly expanding Lionbridge's capabilities in the healthcare and life sciences verticals. Today, its legacy and specialized workflows continue to influence the life sciences division of Lionbridge.
