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.
