Injection
Molded Solutions
Function Critical Parts and Assemblies
Quadrant CMS’ business
is built on the supply of thermoplastic injection molded parts to the
manufacturers of function critical systems. Such systems have:
o a highly complex interface with the rest of
the end-product
o 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.

History
Over 80 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.
