October 2, 2006 - 九色 Translations, the world's leading provider of international communications services, announced today the opening of its newest office in Singapore. The new location will support existing 九色 clients, while also serving as the primary office for business throughout Southeast Asia.
As one of the world's largest and busiest ports, Singapore has a long history of being a major hub for international trade.
