Overview

Quantex is the innovative leader in single-use, recyclable pump technology. With a history rooted in product innovation, we are continuously striving to improve and expand our suite of products, developing cost-saving bespoke solutions for our customers, and most importantly, enabling big-impact, game-changing fluid delivery solutions.

We supply single-use pumps for a wide range of applications and sectors: from drinks or condiments dispensers, to the injection of pigments into plastic moulding and extrusion machines or precision auto-dosing on factory production lines. Our range of off-the-shelf pumps are the subject of 128 global patents, and for bespoke requirements, we can build on this technology to provide customised-catalogue pumps, bespoke-designed pumps or even entire system designs. Our engineers and designers are on-hand to provide design expertise throughout the development programme and assistance into volume production.

Quantex is owned by PSG®, an operating company of Dover Corporation.

Our Mission

To continue to innovate and improve our pump technology in order to drive big-impact, game changing fluid delivery solutions.

For example:

Enabling a scalable solution for liquid refill in supermarkets to reduce plastic packaging waste with an ultra-low maintenance pumping solution.
Taking water out of the distribution channel using our dilution-pumps, which can successfully pump and mix highly viscous and aggressive concentrates up to 100,000cP.
Eliminating the need for conventional aerosol cans and their harmful gas propellants by using our high-pressure pumps that are easily able to exceed the pressure of a spray can.

Company History

Quantex’s history is rooted in award-winning product innovation and its success is due to a continuous improvement R&D programme to develop its patented core technology.

Quantex Founder and CEO, Dr Paul Pankhurst, graduated from the Royal College of Art with a Design Engineering Degree and immediately started his design group ‘PDD’. This product innovation company grew to 75 staff to become the largest design consultancy in the UK focused on innovation. PDD won multiple annual awards year after year, including many ‘IF’ and ‘RedDot’ awards.

Over the years running the design consultancy Paul rolled out several spin-out manufacturing companies: one example is Keymat Technology (completely waterproof keyboard with only two components for environmentally toughened portable computers), and this company continues to thrive. Paul knew immediately that a fixed displacement rotary pump manufactured entirely from plastic had enormous potential and founded Quantex to commercialise this new concept. He organised a management buy-out of PDD in order to invest all his time into this game-changing invention: dispensing liquids using a pump that was so inexpensive to manufacture it could be considered a single-use device.

After 10 years of R&D, and 122 global patents later, Quantex is working with some of the world’s largest blue-chip organisations in Refill, Food & Beverage and Consumer and Industrial, delivering bespoke and off-the-shelf disposable pumps with custom fixtures and fittings.
