2002: The Spark in Kaunas
Four engineers in Kaunas, Lithuania, launched NFQ Technologies, writing code that would power OXID eSales or Swoodoo-later acquired by KAYAK and rolled into Booking Holdings.
2008–2015: Eastward & Outward
Global demand for always‑on engineering led to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where NFQ Asia paired European product mindset with APAC speed-supporting clients like HomeToGo and high‑growth mobility start‑ups.
2022: Footprint into MENA – dlivr.io Egypt Acquisition
To serve the booming Middle‑East tech scene we acquired dlivr.io in Cairo-adding last‑mile logistics expertise and a bilingual engineering hub bridging Europe, Africa, and the Gulf.
2024: Consulting Muscle Joins – NFQ Solutions
The acquisition of German advisory boutique ecom consulting formed NFQ Solutions-delivering technology audits, digital roadmaps, and transformation governance.
2025: Birth of Gradion
NFQ Asia and NFQ Solutions rebrand as Gradion, creating a unified offering in deep‑tech engineering, AI delivery, and strategic consulting across Asia, DACH, and MEA. In parallel, NFQ Digital Creatives and NFQ Technologies remain under the NFQ Brand.
