Our History

Unveiling Quantum's Journey: A Tale of Excellence in Dairy Sourcing.

Since its beginning in 2001, Quantum has developed a strong core which now more than two decades later is the DNA of our company and permeates everything we do.

Our origins trace back to a vision of a trading company that thrives on fostering client relationships through genuine interest and a flexible approach. With an unwavering commitment to mutual growth, Quantum started on a journey to serve its clients with sincere dedication.

As a result of a longer successful partnership with the prominent European dairy leader, Rücker GmbH decided to buy initial shares in Quantum. In January 2011, the acquisition became a reality.
This marked a pivotal moment, where we assumed the role of their dedicated sales office, entrusted with shaping their overseas markets.

Our partnership's success is built on two pillars: exceptional products and boundless commitment.
At Quantum, we don't just deliver dairy; we gather excellence and infuse every transaction with a dedication that creates the foundation for long-lasting partnerships.

Throughout our journey, Quantum has expanded its supplier network and is today sourcing products both within and outside EU.
Our deep understanding of quality sourcing has allowed us to venture into diverse markets.
Our quality and core values are today recognized and appreciated in more than 85 countries worldwide.
These relations are not transactions; rather relationships cultivated over years of interaction, fortified by regular visits and a shared pursuit of bringing the best dairy products to every corner of our earth.

Quantum's journey is one of passion, partnership, and the pursuit of perfection. Join us as we continue to source the finest dairy products and create a legacy of exceptional taste and unwavering commitment.
