Italian to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) | | Italian term or phrase: società esclusivamente commerciale | "Cercol Iberia Sl è una società esclusivamente commerciale, che svolge attività meramente distributiva dei prodotti di riferimento ed è dunque priva di impianti e linee di produzione propria".
MY try: "Cercol Iberai Sl is an exclusively marketing-related company, which merely distributes the relevant products and is thus devoid of its own plants and production lines".
I find "sales, marketing, business, trading and trade" for "commerciale" in my Hoepli IT-EN Dizionario economico/finanziario CD.
Is a sales company?
Is a marketing company?
Is a trading company? (this seems to imply the trading of shares more than of Mapei products, which are mostly chemicals and adhesives, and so might be misleading)
Thanks to all!

| | sales-only company | Explanation:
Hi Peter
Commerciale very often (in fact, usually) translates as "sales". it's a false friend, because all companies that exist to make a profit are commercial.
Personally I would leave out "società esclusivamente commerciale", because the text goes on to say that it distributes the products rather than manufacturing them, so it's basically telling us the same thing twice. But if you need a translation, my suggestion is "sales-only". |
