History.
Founded in 1989, its name derives from the Quichua word "kimsa", meaning "three". The club was established as the merger of "Estudiantes Unidos", "Santiago Basketball Club" and "Inti Club", all three historical basketball clubs in Santiago.
In the 2002–03 season Quimsa achieved promotion to Torneo Nacional de Ascenso, the second division of national basketball. In the 2004–05 season, Quimsa played the final to promote, but they lost to La Unión in a playoff match after a 2–2 tie.
Quimsa reached the final in the following season, promoting to LNB although Quimsa also lost to Juventud Sionista, which crowned champion of the second division.
In their first season in the top level of Argentine basketball, Quimsa ended 9°, with 25 wins and 23 losses.
In November 2020, Quimsa won the final of the Basketball Champions League Americas (BCLA), beating Flamengo and being crowned champions of South America.
Arena.
Quimsa plays its home venues at Estadio Ciudad de Santiago del Estero, which have a capacity of 5,200.

With the money earned from the sales of Inti Club and Santiago Básquetbol Club (the other two clubs part of the merging), Quimsa refurbished the arena.
