Our history
Our 47-year history is full of memorable moments. We started with a lot of enthusiasm, passion and effort. We have witnessed the evolution of the sector, society and the needs of our customers. We are constantly learning and improving from them.
We are living through very important changes, where technology is an essential aspect. At Aries Communication Group, we believe that the best way to face the present is to combine knowledge of technology with the people who implement it.
COVID19 proved our commitment to digitalization. We were ready to continue serving our customers with the same speed and quality as usual.
