    Our story

    From bold idea to global impact

    In the summer of 2011, Bart Van Acker took a bold step and founded QbD Group. With his bioengineering background and extensive experience in IT consultancy, Bart understood the market's needs and seized the opportunity.

    Joining forces with Albert Verschoor, Bart established key contacts leading to their first projects. Today, QbD Group continues to serve some of the clients they originally engaged with back then!

    Growing markets

    Expanding across Europe and beyond

    Albert's Dutch background facilitated the official launch of QbD Netherlands in 2013, allowing Bart to concentrate on Belgium while Albert focused on the Dutch market.

    In 2016, QbD Group expanded internationally with the launch of QbD Spain in Barcelona, followed by the acquisition of BPF and the opening of QbD Mexico.

    Recognizing the high costs of quality control software, QbD Group developed an affordable SaaS-based solution in 2017, the only validated option on the market. The momentum continued with new offices in Colombia, California, and Wallonia.
