History

In the early 90’s, facing the opening of the Brazilian market, low inflation and globalization, companies went through major changes to improve their competitiveness by introducing new products and services in which the strategic use of technology played a key role. BRQ was established in 1993 in the midst of this revolution, in the city of São Paulo, putting together the entrepreneurial spirit of its founder, Benjamin Quadros and a large Brazilian bank that placed a bet on the company as one of its strategic partners to develop new systems that would result in innovative products and services.

Since then, the partnership has only been growing and so did BRQ. The Company expanded its services to applications outsourcing and started operating in other clients in addition to becoming the key partner in applications of its first client.

From 1996 to 2005, BRQ consolidated itself in São Paulo and established new offices in Curitiba and Rio de Janeiro. The Company created solutions and developed services to support large and midsize companies to face the challenge of year 2000, was awarded several certifications and entered partnerships with major global companies in the industry. Following the Internet boom, the Company once again positioned itself as a partner of its clients to develop innovative services that have changed the market. At that point, BRQ reached R$ 100 million in sales.

In 2006, BRQ aimed to become a global company, leader in IT services in Brazil and active in the largest consumer markets around the world.

Two years later, BNDES became a partner of the company, committed to its vision and growth. BRQ established branches in Fortaleza, Salvador, Recife, New York and made several acquisitions along the way. New executives joined the team and in 2011 the company reached 3,000 professionals, and R$ 350 million in sales.
