From humble
beginnings in 1945, a big dream for two entrepreneurs quickly flourished into a
big reality with Quintrex quickly establishing itself as one of Australia’s
most sought-after aluminium boat brands.
Today, as it
celebrates its big diamond anniversary, with the brand clocking over to its 75th
year of production, Quintrex is as popular as ever.
With a
commitment to delivering quality and introducing groundbreaking technologies,
the 75-year-young brand continues to make waves in the boating industry as it
progressively evolves to deliver a next-to-none on-water experience.
“We are proud to say that there wouldn’t be a boatie
in Australia who doesn’t recognise the Quintrex name and that’s because of the
quality of product we have continued to produce over the last 75-years” Sam
Heyes, Telwater General Manager said.
“Throughout the 75-years of manufacturing, innovation
has been at the core of our business, with a dedicated Research and Development
team underpinning the evolution of our product line. This is to ensure we are
not only meeting customer demand but also delivering new features to the
industry that take our customers boating experience to another level.”
The Quintrex
factory doors formally opened in the emerald city of Sydney by founder; Terry
Quantrill. Soon after, in 1946, the first dealership was signed on, with Hunts
Marine (formerly Marine City) continuing to be an avidly successful Quintrex
dealer to this day.
It was only
up from here, as the company released its Flared Bow design across most
Quintrex models in 1968, utilising stretch-formed aluminium. Stretch-forming
technology allows Quintrex to mould the hull of boats in a way that results in a
dry, smooth ride and increased stability.
The revolutionary
Flared Bow paved the way for continued success, as the company evolved its
stretch forming technology, which saw the creation of the Millennium Hull in
2005, then the Blade Hull in 2013.
From its
conception, the company has been led by an overarching business model of
“Boating Made Easy”, which still drives the progression of its products to this
day.
Most recently,
Quintrex released its Apex Hull. Formulated through years of proven research
and development, the Apex Hull is not only built tough, but also delivers
unparalleled on-water performance and stands out as one of the most modern hull
designs on the water.
Over the years, the brand has
been awarded 'Aluminium Boat of the Year' more than ten times as a direct
result of the success of Quintrex's innovative designs.
“Because
we partner with the 60 best boat dealers in Australia, who are spread across
the country, we are proudly able to offer the Quintrex boating lifestyle to
every person, living in every part of Australia,” Sam Heyes said. “We now also
export to over 15 countries, including in the South
Pacific and Asia.”
Quintrex is a proudly Australian built
brand, owned by BRP; a global leader in the world of powersports.
