German term

Alles in einer Hand vs. alles aus einer Hand

German to English Marketing Marketing / Market Research
KONTEXT: Entwicklung, Produktion, Vertrieb. Alles in einer Hand.

This is a line in a marketing text about a company who provides Entwicklung, Produktion, Vertrieb with the products it manufactures. I've seen the very good suggestions for ,,Alles aus einer Hand" entered here in proz.com but could someone please confirm if ,,alles *in* einer Hand'' means the same thing? Muchas gracias.

All under one roof vs. from a single source

"alles AUS einer Hand" means "from a single source".

"alles IN einer Hand" means that it's "all under one roof" (provided/performed by a single company).

I would translate it as follows:

"Engineering, production, sales. All under one roof."

Or use "development" instead of engineering if that fits the product.

??? vs. all from one supplier

It's a border line case...alles in einer Hand could mean...it's a group (Konzern) that owns it all... aus einer Hand normally means "from one supplier" or one source...In the example you gave I believe they should be tantamount...

"all from one source" should be pretty safe as a translation ... 80% sure, is that good enough for you?

s.u.

I think there is a slight difference in interpretation and would suggest-
A complete in-house service vs. The complete service that we offer.

all owned/managed by vs. all received from one company (source)

for your context, I see it as:

"in einer Hand" simply relates to the ownership or business setup
while "aus einer Hand" relates to (all) services received from one company/source

“in control of one entity” vs. “one-stop”

To express the subtle difference. Basically, it means the same thing, only that “aus einer Hand” is better suited for the product or service which a customer is directly supplied with, e. g. an all-in-one solution.
