Quantum Group

Specialties

Quantum researches, develops, manufactures and markets carbon monoxide sensors, CO/​smoke/​heat alarms, CO ventilation controls, catalysts, and detectors. The Company is currently a world leader in carbon monoxide (CO) safety products selling its biotechnology based sensors, alarms, controls and catalysts. Quantum licenses its technology to CO detector manufacturers, and supplies CO sensors and proprietary components to licensed manufacturers. Quantum is also a volume supplier of CO detectors and controls for several niche markets. Quantum supplies over 50% of the CO alarms purchased annually by recreational vehicle manufacturers. Quantum has developed a new improved small, low cost CO sensor which will allow it to capture a larger segment of the rapidly expanding CO alarm markets especially in system CO/​smoke and CO/​smoke heat. Quantum plans to focus on systems and large buildings where people sleep such as dormitories, hotels, hospitals, apartments and condominiums.
