Redwood City, CA. – Curion, formerly known as QRS-Tragon, has completed a comprehensive rebranding effort resulting from the merger of Q Research Solutions and Tragon Corporation.
“The ever-changing marketplace has created exciting new opportunities to transform how we deliver our sensory and consumer research services to our clients,” said David Japhet, Chief Executive Officer. “We began our mission last year to create a platform for developing innovative methodologies, acquire and retain the best talent in the industry and to build one of the largest sensory and consumer research suppliers in the US.”
Curio was a Roman orator and visionary in developing Rome’s first amphitheater. His life’s work was a mix of both fresh thinking and the establishment of a timeless icon. The branding team was inspired by the combination of these accomplishments and from this the name Curion is born – proven methods, fresh thinking.
Mr. Japhet summarized both the merger and the new branding by adding, “With this announcement, Curion reaffirms its steadfast commitment to provide our clients with innovative business solutions and consumer insights, while simultaneously expanding our resources and capabilities to meet the ever changing needs of our clients, whenever and wherever opportunities arise.”
