QS Group SpA has over 50 years of experience and specialises in designing and manufacturing automated machines; dies; hydraulic presses and special equipment for the production and assembly of the structural parts of washing machines; dryers; refrigerators; dishwashers; ovens and water heaters.
Quintus Technologies specialises in the design, manufacture, installation and support of high-pressure systems for sheetmetal forming and densification of advanced materials and critical industrial components. It has become a leading producer of fluidcell presses for sheet hydroforming and similar sheet metal forming applications. Its Flexform press process requires only one rigid tool half; the other tool half is a flexible rubber diaphragm under uniform hydrostatic pressure. This design approach generates significant tool cost savings and eliminates several forming operations, intermediate heat treatments and operator dependencies.
Quintus Technologies has also developed High-Pressure Warm Forming( HPWF) that combines high pressure with a moderately elevated temperature for more rapid and efficient fabrication of titanium parts. It offers hot, warm and cold isostatic presses. Headquartered in Västerås, Sweden, it is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Kobe Steel.
In October 2024, it introduced the QIF 600L High Pressure Processing( HPP) system.
