Strong Partnerships Through Innovative Solutions!

Private Corporation established in 1995

Quantum's founder, Tony LaGrange, obtained a B.Sc. Degree in Chemistry and worked in many areas of the industrial and commercial coatings industry. His niche was providing products and technical assistance to address environmental and performance requirements to the specialty coatings market. In true entrepreneurial spirit, Mr. LaGrange began first in his basement where he was the consultant, research and development chemist, manufacturer, shipper, purchaser, receiver and bookkeeper. He expanded to his garage, but in short order leased a facility in Edmonton and began to grow his team of experts. In 2010 he built his own state-of-the-art R&D and test laboratory and manufacturing facility in the Riel Business Park in St. Albert, AB, along with an excellent reputation for formulating solvent-free elastomers and fire retardant coatings.

We continue to work closely with our clients to provide customized solutions. We take the time to understand your concerns, do a feasibility analysis and realistic project completion dates. By working closely with our customers, Quantum has become an established industry leader of a diverse line of innovative products.

Original Logo: 1995
New Business Name & Logo: 2012
Corporate Rebranding: 2020

Quantum’s 25th Anniversary came in on the wave of an unprecedented pandemic and unexpected global turmoil, carrying dire predictions of severe economic uncertainty for the foreseeable future. We have always embraced a good challenge and consider twenty-five years a significant achievement AND perfect time to consider the relevance of our current brand. So despite all the pandemonium, we forged ahead with great optimism for Quantum’s future, adding Hand Sanitizer to support our customers and community, and continuing business as usual.

 

This marks an important milestone on our journey building a modern brand. Over the past 27 years we've been constantly growing, adapting, and evolving to meet the rising expectations of our customers. Our new logo was officially implemented in August, 2020 as an integral part of our corporate rebranding to both reflect and enhance the evolution of our mission and vision.

We have always aspired to be the epitome of chemistry: the scientific discipline involved with elements and compounds composed of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during a reaction with other substances.

Our company's greatest strength has always been our robust Research and Development Team and focus on solving industry challenges with innovative new products. We are: 

Innovative: coating solutions that are zero VOC to exceed legislation requirements and satisfy industry challenges.
Resourceful: coating solutions that withstand the most demanding environments. Efficient: coating solutions that help our clients with their productivity in getting their important things done consistently. Tenacious: we formulate, test, formulate, test, tweak, test … independent testing … solutions … satisfied customer(s). This is who we are and 

that will never change!

Our company is also the epitome of synergy: the interaction and cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.

Staff: We work together as a cohesive team. Clients: Client challenges become our own; we are not satisfied until they are successful. We don’t just work for our clients, our team becomes part of their team. Industry Professionals: We consult and exchange ideas and information with architects, engineers, and specifiers, to support our customers. Vendors: Our solid relationships with suppliers helps us to be on the leading edge of new technology in the chemical industry. Logistic partners help us provide the best rates and timely deliveries to our customers. Environment: We are global leaders setting new standards in environmental stewardship with the utmost respect for our environment. Community: We are with you - on your commute, at work, at home, at play - protecting your assets and saving lives. We are everywhere – facilities, equipment, infrastructure; we are part of our community. Government: We work closely with all authorities to ensure products satisfy code requirements.
Philanthropy: We support community organizations and look towards a better future by inspiring the next generation of innovators.

Our new logo is to captures the chemistry and the synergy with a contemporary and purposeful design that is bold, strong, simple and clean. The orbitals, a two-color graphic representing Quantum and each entity we partner with, move in synergy with one another, representing our dedication to all our partners - customers and both personal and professional relationships. The sense of movement captures our forward momentum as we adapt quickly to the constantly changing demands of our industry.

Our corporate brand is designed to send a quick, non-verbal message about a company and the use of only two colours and refined design were very intentional. Teal is a combination of our original popular blue, blended with green - highlighting our choice to formulate 'green' coatings. TEAL falls into both the blue and green spectrum of colors and carries the positive emotional response of both. Blue is the most used and popular color chosen for corporate logos because it is considered trustworthy, dependable, secure, responsible, and confident. Teal is the new fresh blue that sets us apart. We formulate innovative solutions because we think outside the box. 

Green is calm, safe, and fresh. As one of greens various hues, Teal creates a unique brand identity. It is associated with health along with the feelings of peace, serenity, growth and new life and is synonymous with environmental responsibility. It depicts wealth, health, prestige, serenity, generosity, safety, growth. As a cool color, Teal also creates a sense of calmness and security. 

BLACK is the most classic colour option. Both classic and sophisticated, it makes a brand identity stand out. It works perfectly with luxury products, blending the classic and powerful elements. We strive to take the 'basic' out of our coatings, making them both functional and aesthetic. Black can be easily combined with others to add a stronger emotion, without losing the classical appeal. It depicts prestige, value, timelessness, sophistication, and power. The combination of black and teal depict our strength as a company, the boldness of innovative thinking, environmental responsibility and the trust and loyalty we share with our partners.  

The typography of our name also speaks volumes about who we are.
• We reverted to the original font chosen in 1995, (regular instead of italic), because it is clean, bold, strong and the most popular online and reproducible logo style.
• Kerning is very precise, both between letters and between the words - like our very precise formulations. 
• Quantum is in caps; Chemical in upper and lower making each line exactly the same length - the importance of balance in our formulations to achieve the desired properties for each particular market application.
• The Q in Quantum is slightly larger, highlighting the QC, as we follow strict Quality Control protocols on all our products and corporate processes according to our ISO 9001:2015 Quality Control System. 

This new look communicates the essence of who we are - a cutting edge manufacturer with a strong focus on partners, quality and innovation.

We commemorate our previous brands, but at the same time look forward to the future. Additional customer service personnel are joining our team to support our strong R&D Department and together we will continue to forge strong, loyal partnerships. Customer satisfaction will be our legacy. We want to thank you for choosing our products and services and look forward to working with you as part of your team in the future.
