In the early years Quantum Group sold fire protection materials to nuclear power plant utilities and provided expert witness services. In late 1984, Quantum closed its first private offering and launched a successful effort to develop the worlds first biomimetic carbon monoxide (CO) sensor. The company began manufacturing and retailing CO safety products in 1989. Today Quantum Group Inc. is a multi-faceted environmental company whose primary business is the development and production of carbon monoxide (CO) detection products including, but not exclusive to, CO sensors, CO detectors and controls. Quantum Group Inc. is the technology leader in this field via the use of Solid-state Infrared (SIR) detection technology.

As the technology leader in CO sensors and detection, Quantum Group Inc. has developed collateral proprietary technology in support of its core products.
