Who we are

Qiba began with a vision shared by our founders, Johannes Rietschel and Mário Almeida, who saw the need for better distribution solutions for the Swiss brand Qibixx. Mário, originally from Portugal but having emigrated to Switzerland, brought the company to his homeland, leveraging his deep tiesto the region and its technological ecosystem.

What started as a brand under Qibixx quickly evolved. Today, we are proud to say that Qiba has become the primary company, with Qibixx now operating as a brand within us. Despite this shift, Qibixx remains an integral part of our identity.
