About us

The bridge between the banks of the river

Our lives are full of metaphors, and we often do not notice them. Look at today’s world through that lens and it resembles a river: dynamic, fast moving, and filled every day with new streams of ideas, trends and innovations. Organisations are the banks of that river, each with its own traditions, cultural colours and shades.

Something has to connect those banks, and unite them through shared goals, ideas, business, strategy and language. Our company serves as that bridge, building connections between people, business organisations and institutions. That single belief is what distinguishes us, and what helps distinguish our clients’ products, services and brands internationally.

Abu Ghazaleh Translation Office

AGATO has been empowering communication for leading multinationals. Originally known as a supplier to suppliers, the company has grown into one of the fastest-growing multilingual language service providers in the region. We are a customer-centric organisation with a keen focus on high quality standards and technological creativity, so that we can overcome any obstacle and add real value to every localization programme.

Abu Ghazaleh Translation Office. The company’s story began in 1986 with its founder, Hadi Abu Ghazaleh, and it now operates as AGATO Legal Translation from its head office in Dubai.

What makes AGATO different from other translation companies?

Certification and specialism together. We are Ministry of Justice certified, ISO 9001 and ISO 17100 certified, and able to provide NAATI and NZSTI certified translations, and every document is handled by a translator with the right subject background and checked by a second linguist.

Quality, speed, integrity, caring and service: quality work that honours your trust, respect for your time, straightforward dealing, professional support using the latest technology, and friendly, courteous service.

Do you work with individuals as well as companies?
