1976 - 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.

1984 - 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.

1987 - The moveable port block system allowed DG to SG, DG to TG, and other unlimited gob and center distance configurations.

1990 - TWT^®, Tube Within a Tube, was introduced allowing full stroke position output for Gob Weight Control in NNPB and WMPB. Still the only full stroke transducer and the only dual sealed self-purging system.

1992 - 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.

1996 - Quantum provides a network of worldwide service and support groups in cooperation with many of the I.S. machine builders.

1997 - The introduction of the ABB/A Process, Advanced Blow & Blow with AFCON, to produce high strength light weighted containers offering the industry an alternative to NNPB.

1999 - The ABB/A Process and NNPB with full process control becomes the Forming System of many of the world’s most progressive container producers.

2002 - A building expansion has been completed at Quantum to provide additional space for manufacturing, assembly, research and development, along with customer and service training. This space provides for a variety of improvement enhancements to our core technology and new developments never before seen in the glass container industry. Quantum now houses a fully active test and training simulator that allows the operator to make immediate changes and see their impact. It is acting as a test bed for newly developed sensors using linear, pressure, temperature, and imaging systems to monitor the glass forming process. This will allow further advancement of the ABB/A and Press and Blow process for our worldwide clients.

2005 - Continuing research at Quantum has resulted in a completely new version of the full length display of the entire forming cycle. Quantum is also in the process of providing Interactive Training via the internet and video conferencing media. The continued commitment to improving the forming process is still Quantum’s main objective.
