Powering Global Ecommerce
Since 2007

The idea behind Glopal was first born back in 2007 when Benjamin Cohen and Patrick Smarzynski founded a company called Webinterpret. Webinterpret is now the world's leading cross-border ecommerce solution for Amazon and eBay sellers. Glopal grew out of research from Webinterpret and in 2020 was founded as a sister company designed specifically to address the cross-border challenges of large brands and retailers. Together Webinterpret and Glopal are made up of over 220 employees across 8 offices globally.

Our
history

Since the genesis of the idea back in 2007, Webinterpret and then Glopal, together have grown to become the global leaders in the cross-border ecommerce space. Let's see how we got there.

2007 - 2010

Built the core localization engine
Back in 2007 Ben and Patrick founded Webinterpret. They focussed on building a localization engine for internet content. Initially they tried to apply this technology to a number of different commercial use-cases.
2010 - 2011

Product-market fit

It wasn't until 2010 that they hit the jackpot and discovered that ecommerce provided the perfect business opportunity for their technology.
2011

eBay extension released

In 2011 they released their first public eBay extension which enabled ordinary eBay sellers to take their businesses global in just a few clicks.
2012 - 2013

Amazon extension released

Hot off the success of the release of their eBay extension in 2011, Webinterpret adapted their technology for Amazon and in 2012 released a similar extension for Amazon sellers.
2013 - 2015

Online store extension released

Between 2013 and 2015 Webinterpret began to move into the online store space, this culminated in the acquisition of the London-based startup Ekos Global and the subsequent release of extensions for Shopify, BigCommerce and Magento.
2018

Webinterpret acquires borderlinx

With hundreds of merchants using Webinterpret's online store solution they made the strategic acquisition of the Paris-based shipping solution Borderlinx. This enabled them to provide their online store customer's with additional shipping, logistics and compliance tools.
2020

Glopal launched as separate company
By 2022 Glopal was growing rapidly and acquiring many large, world-class, brands and retails and they decided to incorporate Glopal as stand-alone company that focussed specifically on the needs and requirements of large global brands and retailers.
Today
Today Webinterpret continues to go from strength to strength servicing marketplace sellers and Glopal is emerging as the leading global ecommerce provider for the world's largest brands and retailers.
