Well-designed company profiles promote company image and improve product publicity.

Guided by the theory of Skopstheorie, the present study analyzes the problems in company profile translation and proposes some translation strategies, including omission, addition and restruction. The findings of the present study aim to bridge the gap between source and target texts and offer some suggestions for company profiles translation.
