About Quarter Master®
Founded by Ed Stoffels in 1958, Quarter Master® began
its life as a quarter mile drag race chassis
manufacturing company (thus the name Quarter Master®).
During the formative years, Stoffels, who is a racer and
machinist, went beyond chassis building and was among
the first to bring multi-plate style clutches to the
U.S. for use in race cars. Multi-plate clutches were
great solutions for racers; however their availability
to the U.S. market was extremely limited.
Because
of the scarcity and high demand of the European clutch,
Stoffels saw an opening and seized the opportunity of
producing the multi-plate style clutches on his own in
the early 1970s. In the ensuing years Quarter Master®
rapidly became the major player of the design and
manufacturing of racing clutches, concentrating on the
Circle Track market. By 1976 the company had evolved
into a full manufacturing and service company and was
recognized as the industry leader of clutch and clutch
component manufacturing.
In addition, to its
clutch manufacturing, the company expanded into the
production of other circle track racing driveline
products such as quick change gears for midgets and
stock cars, flywheels and many other clutch-related
mechanisms. In 2003 Quarter Master® launched its
industry leading “Optimum” clutch line and in 2005 it
introduced its clutchless line. The company was
successfully positioned as the industry leader in circle
track driveline component manufacturing.
Today
Quarter Master® has earned the respect and loyalty of
racers across the country. Located in Lake Zurich, Ill.,
the company’s success is rooted in its philosophy of
providing nothing but the very best in products and
services.
Quarter Master® strives to be the very
best on every level of product manufacturing and
customer service. By utilizing our substantial
engineering and manufacturing resources Quarter Master®
goes all-out in providing racers with a world-class
level of high-quality driveline products. And when it
comes to customer service we are second to none.
Maintaining its position as the number one driveline
company is no small task, and Quarter Master® is always
two steps ahead of the rest in product development and
customer service. On the manufacturing side, Quarter
Master products are produced on the most sophisticated
state-of-the-art CNC equipment available. On the
engineering side, the company employs the best and
brightest engineers who develop new and better products
for racers in every category.
From a product
standpoint, Quarter Master® serves a broad market that
includes asphalt, short track, road racing, open wheel,
dirt short track and driving schools. The company offers
an array of products serving these markets including
multi-plate clutches, aluminum and steel drive-shafts,
quick change gears, starters, hydraulic release bearings
as well as made-to-order products.
Every Quarter
Master® product is manufactured on high-tech machinery
such as its state-of-the-art CNC turning centers &
mills, gear cutting, and broaching equipment. In
addition, every product is subjected to rigorous quality
control inspection before it leaves the plant.
Quarter Master® is also deeply involved with race series
across the country such as the USMTS and USRA.
As
Quarter Master moves into the future, not only do they
plan to continue to service existing markets but are
preparing for extensive growth with relevant new product
offerings in the street performance and drag race
markets as well.
Additional future plans call for
expansion into other automotive driveline services to
remain an industry leader in performance driveline
technology.
