Quantum History

Founded

Quantum began supplying forming components to fit the various plunger mechanisms used in the North American Glass Container industry. Every type of plunger mechanism was rebuilt with the purpose of improving the performance and life of components.

Quantum introduced the QL5000 Quick Change universal cylinder for Blow & Blow, WMPB, and NNPB using alloys and seal components never before seen in glass container forming.

The moveable port block system allowed DG to SG, DG to TG, and other unlimited gob and center distance configurations.

TWT®, Tube Within a Tube, was introduced allowing full stroke position output for Gob Weight Control in NNPB and WMPB.

The introduction of the QuickLook™ information program allows the user to have complete disclosure of the forming components for training, production assistance, and new container designs.

Quantum provides a network of worldwide service and support groups in cooperation with many of the I.S. machine builders.

The introduction of the ABB/A® Process, Advanced Blow & Blow with AFCON®, to produce high strength lightweight containers offering the industry an alternative to NNPB.

A building expansion was completed at Quantum to provide additional space for manufacturing, assembly, research, and development, along with customer and service training.

Quantum now houses a fully active test and training simulator that allows the operator to make immediate changes and see their impact.
