Last week marked a special milestone for our company as we officially moved into our brand-new...
At QuantoLux, internationality is not just a word we use — it is something we live every day. Recently, we had a special team lunch where everyone brought a dish from their home / their home country. It was more than just eating food together. It was a chance to celebrate the many different cultures that make up our team.
