In the year 2007, two young energetic entrepreneurs, one of them a qualified Chartered Accountant and the other a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from India, already working in Nigeria, struck upon an idea of how to use waste of Nigeria to convert it into wealth for the country. They identified the enormous quantity of surplus steel scrap generated in the country on one side and the precious foreign exchange being spent in import of steel bars, mainly used in construction activities in the country.

Thus began the journey of QUANTUM STEELS NIGERIA LTD ( Formerly known as REAL INFRASTRUCTURE NIGERIA LTD ) in a very modest way in a small village in OGUN state of Nigeria; a dedicated power line was arranged for uninterrupted power supply; local village youths were hired; all machines and equipment were imported and finally the production commenced in August 2009.
