Quadrant CMS’ business is built on the supply of thermoplastic injection molded parts to the manufacturers of function critical systems. Such systems have:

• a highly complex interface with the rest of the end-product
• a strong influence on user-perception with regard to the component’s functionality

This is best illustrated by applications from the automotive, medical and electrical & electronics industries, such as airbag housings, safety belts, blood sample analysis cuvettes, pregnancy test devices, power tool covers, although examples can also be found in other markets where QCMS is active. 

As a consequence of the component’s critical nature, close collaboration between manufacturer and supplier is required, with early integration of QCMS in the development and production process.

Over 75 years experience of injection moulding

QCMS was originally founded in Tielt, Belgium, in 1933 as a private family-owned business under the name of ERTA N.V. Since its foundation, its core activity has been the injection molding of high-performance plastics, with an emphasis on close customer involvement.

In 1973, the company became part of DSM’s Engineering Plastic Products (EPP) business, which in turn was acquired by the Quadrant Group on 1st January 2001. The Quadrant Group is a global leader in high-performance polymer materials in the form of (semi)finished products, used in a wide range of applications. The Group operates more than 25 production sites in 20 countries and has more than 2,000 employees worldwide. QCMS maintains the customer-driven philosophy of its founding years, and supplies parts and components to world-class manufacturers of critical systems in the automotive, mechanical, electrical & electronic and medical device markets.

Since 2004, QCMS has responded to the drift of its customers towards Central and Eastern Europe by establishing production facilities in Hungary. The company currently employs over 200 people at its sites in Tielt, Belgium, and Szigetszentmiklos (Budapest), Hungary.
