Blu Digital Group acquires Haymillian

Localisation business has offices in the UK, Greece, and Mexico

Blu Digital Group has acquired localisation company Haymillian.

Haymillian, which handles dubbing, subtitling and access services for over 40 languages, has offices in the UK, Greece, and Mexico, and the move sees Blu Digital Group expand into Latin America and Europe from its California base. 

Blu aims to cater to the growing localization needs of the entertainment industry as well as contributing to the industry’s efforts to enhance content accessibility for people with hearing loss or visual impairment through the provision of high-quality access services (closed captions, subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing, and audio description).

Paulette Pantoja, CEO of Blu Digital Group, said: “When we launched our localization division to complement our content distribution and software divisions, we saw a gap in the market for full service media management facilities which integrated localization into the content distribution workflow.

“By acquiring Haymillian, we substantially grow our localization footprint, adding services and territories in key areas. We can now integrate our proprietary project management tools into the end-to-end workflow, taking clients from post production all the way through packaging and final delivery to platforms. We are excited to welcome the team from Haymillian into the Blu Digital Group family, joining us on the next chapter of our growth story.”

Aida Martirosyan, managing director at Haymillian, added: “We are excited to join Blu Digital Group and combine their experience in digital media management with Haymillian’s know-how to better respond to the evolving needs of the entertainment industry.

“We are going to build on the expertise of our talent pool and internal teams to keep becoming better at what we do: helping the entertainment industry reach a wider audience with its content.”
