About BETWEEN Technology
BETWEEN Technology is a multinational consultancy with more than 20 years of experience in offering comprehensive services and technological solutions. We have a double function, look for the best way to meet the expectations of our customers and offer our workers a professional career.
Our History
BETWEEN Technology is the result of the merger of SOLID Engineering and ADICIONA Servicios Informáticos.
SOLID was founded in 2000 by the industrial engineer Francesc Civit and evolved from the design of machinery and the automation of industrial processes to product design, giving service to the entire production cycle, from design to industrialization processes. As of 2007, the company incorporated consultancy and outsourcing services in various branches of engineering, so that at the time of the merger it had a team of more than 150 consultants with extensive experience in both Engineering and Operations and with a geographical presence. in several countries, especially in the Asian area.
ADICIONA founded in 2003 by Eli Abad, graduated in Physics from the University of Barcelona, offered customized IT consulting services for medium and large companies. In the beginning, it developed an outgoing mail filter to automate compliance with the LSSI (Anti-Spam Law), but the lack of commercial success of the product made them concentrate on ICT outsourcing services. In 2007, they added technology profile selection services to their portfolio. At the time of the merger they had a team of more than 90 people.
In July 2015, joining forces to improve the day to day of our customers, BETWEEN Technology was born, adding the experience of both companies, which allows us to offer technological consulting services in the fields of mechanical and electronic engineering, IT and development of software, operations and continuous processes (chemical and petrochemical). Our goal is to lead the technological consulting market through our experience in the industry and the commitment of the staff of our company.
In November 2019, we became part of The Talent Club, the best group for representing international talent. Thanks to this, we became one of the member companies of this exclusive talent representation club.
The Talent Club is a group of entrepreneurs specialized in representing Talent, focusing on 4 main areas of high demand such as athletes, artists, engineers and managers. TTC undoubtedly provides the successful experience and the ethical complement that we need to continue advancing on the path that will lead us to be among the best.
Hand in hand with them, we will accelerate our international expansion and strengthen our leadership together with partners related to a modern vision in the category of Talent Representation.
In BETWEEN we have a double function, to find the best way to meet the expectations of our clients, offering our workers a professional career through outsourcing and technological solutions and services.
