View company profile

NRB's story began in 1986 with the establishment of the GI (Groupement Informatique), an ICT entity shared by OMOB (now Ethias) and three Liege utility companies: CILE, ALG, and ALE (the latter two now part of Nethys). The primary goal was to consolidate ICT resources and expertise. Just a year later, in 1987, these four shareholders, along with CCB (Crédit Communal de Belgique), Coditel, and Electrabel, founded the limited liability company NRB. Initially, NRB's focus was on serving its own shareholders, aiming to reduce escalating ICT costs and leverage the skills of the new company's employees.

A significant development occurred in 1989 when the GIEI (Groupement d’Intérêt Economique et Informatique) entrusted NRB with managing the ICT resources for the French Community of Belgium and the Walloon Region. Recognizing the need for modernization and security, NRB undertook substantial upgrades and expansions to its facilities starting in 1995. This period marked a crucial phase in NRB's growth, laying the groundwork for future expansion. By 2005, NRB broadened its horizons, extending its range of services to include parastatal and private institutions. This expansion was supported by the addition of new buildings in Herstal in 2007 and the inauguration of a third data center in 2010. The same year, NRB acquired a 51% stake in the ADINFO holding from Dexia (now Belfius), which included three ICT companies active in the local public sector: Cevi, Adehis, and Logins. In 2011, NRB further solidified its infrastructure by partnering with Wallonia Data Center (WDC) to install a new disaster recovery center, enabling them to offer a complete architecture with data centers located over 30 km apart. This year also saw NRB become the first and only certified SAP Hosting Partner in Belgium. The NRB Group continued its strategic acquisitions, with Stesud joining in 2013 and subsequently merging with Adehis to form Civadis. Today, the NRB Group stands as a major player in the Belgian ICT sector, with a European focus, a consolidated turnover of €638.3 million in 2024, and over 3,670 employees.
