Consolidating its offerings to support the development of innovative life science products, “from idea to patient”

Quality by Design (QbD), a privately held company in Belgium offering quality solutions to companies in the life science industry, today announced that it is rebranding as QbD Group to reflect its expansion into new services and markets over the past decade. The Group will continue to serve the wider life science industry, with a strong focus on ATMPs, medical devices, IVDs, and digital health, thanks to the specific expertise that it has built in these areas.

This decision has been driven by QbD’s substantial growth since its foundation in 2011. The small Belgian startup offering expert quality advice has now become a multinational company with over 450 highly-qualified employees, through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. The time has now come to unify the message about the different support services which will fuel the Group’s ambitions for further expansion worldwide. 

QbD Group offers potential clients a range of services within seven new divisions:
