Bio
Technischer Übersetzer ("native speaking") mit mehr als 30 Jahren Erfahrung in verschiedenen Industrieunternehmen.
Mein Arbeitsbereich umfasst technische Datenblätter, Kataloge, Fachaufsätze, Pressenotizen, Prospekte, sowie HTML-Seiten.
Meine Kunden sind in folgenden Branchen aktiv: Mess- und Regeltechnik, Prozessautomation, Kunststoffverarbeitung, Zulieferteile für die Kfz-Industrie, Transportgeräte, landwirtschaftliche Maschinen, Fördertechnik, Metallbau. Referenzen sind jederzeit möglich.

I am British and grew up bilingually (English/German). During my training and up to the final examination in "Industrial Electronics" (City & Guilds of London Institute) in 1969, I worked for several industrial companies in England, amongst others Plessey and Perkin Elmer.
In 1970 I moved to Germany and worked one year at Bodenseewerk Perkin Elmer GmbH (analytical equipment), where I also started to use my languages.
In 1971 I changed to Withof GmbH (measurement & control equipment) in Kassel, where I worked in the documentation and marketing departments.
Withof GmbH was taken over by Philips (the Dutch one) in 1974.
In 1996, I started work as a freelance translator.

During the 25 years with Withof/Philips I acquired extensive and in-depth knowledge, especially in the areas of industrial measurement & control, process automation, and plastics processing.

At present I work for clients in the following branches:
Measurement & control technology, process automation, plastics processing, suppliers to the automotive industry, transport equipment, agricultural machines, materials handling, metal construction, etc.

Comments from clients:

"Die Übersetzung soll unbedingt von der gleichen Person gemacht werden, die auch die Publikation 'Cylinder head gaskets with integrated temperature sensors' im Juli/August 2002 gemacht hat. Übrigens, ein dickes Lob für diese Übersetzung, unsere Herren waren sehr begeistert."

"Hallo Herr Jory,
bitte übersetzen Sie den anhängenden Text wie oben angeboten.
Ich darf Ihnen hier das Lob weiterleiten, dass wir von unserem Kunden für Ihren ersten Job bekommen haben."

"Wie bereits erwähnt, legen wir großen Wert darauf, dass der Text vom gleichen hervorragenden Übersetzer, der auch unseren Kältemittelreport bearbeitet hat, übersetzt wird."
