QCMINKS Employees

When the QCM Company was founded in the Seattle area in 1972, its main focus was the compression molding resins for the snowboard and ski industries of the Pacific Northwest. As that business began to succeed, QCM started manufacturing proprietary plastisol solutions to serve the airplane and shipbuilding industries that, at that time, made up a large part of the manufacturing base in the local area.

As some of these industries began to move offshore, QCM took its knowledge of plastisols in a different direction and began manufacturing plastisol inks to support one of the most recognizable products in the entire world -the screen-printed T-Shirt. These ink products were soon to become the main focus and for the past 37 years QCM has worked on developing the most user friendly, environmentally conscious, top quality products available anywhere.

QCM's commitment is to direct the development of ink technology to even higher levels of renewable and recyclable capabilities. QCM is heavily involved in research that uses the most up-to-date bio-based plasticizer technology. QCM products contain noheavy metals, which are often associated with the printing ink industry. In addition, QCM inks are noted for the absence of Cadmium, Azo, Formaldehyde, Chromium, Lead, Tin, Nickel, Trichloro phenols, Chlorinated organic solvents, Tetra chlorophenols, Penta chlorophenols or disperse dyes. From the very beginning, the QCM raw material selection has always avoided the use of heavy metals and solvents, earning a classifaction as 100% Non-Toxic.

With Distributors Worldwide, QCM is proud in the knowledge that its products meet or exceed all governmental or state agency rules or regulations concerning product safety and environmental standards. Located in one of the most naturally beautiful locations on Earth, the Pacific Northwest, QCM continues to take its environmental responsibilities seriously.

Finally, as a responsible green company, QCM donates a percentage of its annual profits to several environmental support groups.
