About QRC Group

Twenty years building the regulatory, validation, and quality programs that regulated industries depend on. Founded in Puerto Rico, serving the Americas.

Our Story Two Decades of Regulated Industry Practice

Qualification and Regulatory Consultants Group was founded in 2005 in Puerto Rico to address a clear need: pharmaceutical, medical device, biotechnology, and regulated manufacturing companies on the island — and across the mainland US — needed senior practitioners who could navigate FDA, EMA, and EU GMP frameworks without learning curves.

Today QRC operates from offices in Caguas, PR and Weston, FL, with a network of 230+ active consultants who have completed engagements at more than 130 regulated companies.

Our work covers the full regulatory and validation lifecycle — from quality systems and equipment qualification to enterprise technology and digital transformation. The constant: senior practitioners, rigorous documentation, and outcomes that survive inspection.
