Formerly known as SALEC , BARQ Systems was established in 1993. Since then, we have worked hard to make our corporate and social responsibility goals a reality.
Accomplishing each milestone has not always been easy. Each year, we face significant market changes, the emergence of new technologies, and the expiration of older, outdated technology; to name a few. But, thanks to our experienced leaders and loyal people, we have been able to transform challenges into achievements.
