Founded in 2009 by Miguel Gallego and Ricardo Abad, Quark today leads the market in Spain and is a key player in Europe, having designed more than 60 data centers with the highest standards of innovation, quality and energy efficiency from its offices in Madrid, Bilbao, Barcelona, Lisbon and Fráncfort.
Quark, the leading data center engineering and design firm in southern Europe, celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. Founded in 2009 by Miguel Gallego and Ricardo Abad, the company has consolidated itself as a key player in the market: currently, it has a portfolio of more than 60 designed data centers, with an accumulated power of 600 MW and 250,000 square meters of built rooms. Both main colocation companies and prominent private companies are amongst its clients, such as Nabiax, Box2bit, Digital Realty, Equinix, Cyrus One, Formation, NTT, Prime or Iron Mountain.
Ricardo Abad, CEO of Quark, highlights: “Quark is a dream come true that concretely defines our desire to leverage the knowledge of the best engineers and architects for the service of the data center market. Today, our professionals are respected and recognized at an international level and we have achieved a company model very beloved by our clients and partners, which differentiates itself by its ability to collaborate in an open and dynamic way with them, accepting any challenge that we face”.
And he concludes: “this year marks the 15th anniversary of Quark, and the first since its acquisition by the Sener group: we thank the group for its trust and help to ensure that the firm can take its next big qualitative leap, with the focus put on its internationalization”.
In 2023, the firm was acquired by the Sener group, with the objective of leveraging its international presence and experience in the energy sector and in other fields of engineering, with significant advances in complex projects. During this year, Quark secured 50% more contracts than the previous year and increased its workforce by 40 people, surpassing 100 employees.

The construction process starts on land, where floating platforms, wind turbines, anchoring systems and the necessary cabling are manufactured.
The constructed elements are transported for assambly at a port near the offshore wind farm for their further installation in deep waters.
Anchoring systems ensure the stability of the platforms against waves and currents.
Offshore cables are installed and connected between wind turbines and offshore substations, ensuring efficient power distribution.
The SCRAB I is a jet engine target drone prepared for all types of missions, including offshore.
The SCRAB I was the first of the SCRAB target drone range. It is powered by a single turbine, which gives it flying speed and ceiling capabilities that cannot be achieved with traditional internal combustion engines.
The small size of the SCRAB Itarget drone and its ease of use mean it can be easily deployed in any location. It can be transported with all its components in a medium sized vehicle and can be operational in under thirty minutes.
Moreover, its components are protected, which allows it to be embarked for offshore missions. In addition, the SCRAB I uses generic aviation fuel (Jet A-1, JP5, JP8), which simplifies the supply chain and increases safety in maritime operations.
The SCRAB I target drone has been designed for use in exercises with many weapon systems, including MISTRAL, STANDARD, ROLAND or ASPIDE missiles and 35-90 mm cannons. The system is also prepared for a wide variety of payloads that allows, for example, to increase its infra-red signal.
