History

Quad-X has evolved from humble beginnings, based on the family farm where a young engineer started business as a small ATV service and repair workshop. Quad-X is a privately owned business, in operation since 1993, located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland near the Glens of Antrim.

Initially ATV attachments were considered to be a niche market. However the founder of Quad-X had a vision of developing a range of products that would be more technically advanced and would appeal to a larger market, increasing production volume to give more affordable prices. The young entrepreneur saw scope for major improvements and complete redesigns of some attachments and identified a number of new and innovative ways that could help his customers save time and money.

Not content with just offering his customers products that were “acceptable”, work began on designing a range of products that would be technically superior, easy to use and above all save the customer valuable time and money in completing different tasks using an ATV.

Manufacturing started with sowers, trailers, sprayers & booms and yard scrapers, expanding into a larger range of quad accessories including herbicide applicators, mowers and other specialist equestrian equipment. We are now one of the leading manufacturers of quad accessories in Europe, with 92% of production exported to 14 countries, and are proud to have built our brand reputation to what it is today. Quad-X was shaped by a vision, where a dream has been turned into a range of outstanding products.

Quad-X Today

Driven by ingenuity most of our R&D team are from an agricultural background. Coupled with professional engineering qualifications this ensures that those involved in product development already understand the problems our customers face and realise the importance of ensuring attachments are simple to use, easy to fit, robust, reliable and ultimately competitively priced. This gives us the competitive edge because we are working together to make attachments that are affordable and ensure you get the best from your ATV.

Core values are based on innovation and quality commitment with heavy investment in research and development. Our established expertise is in metal cutting, fabrication, pressing, moulding and machining incorporated with efficient mechanical technologies applying 6 Sigma production management tools.

We strive for continual innovation in developing our products selecting and utilising the technology which gives the best performance to save you time and money. Although Quad-X has grown substantially in terms of our product range and number of employees over the past 15 years, we are still a relatively small team where we can respond quickly to customer needs and expectations. Unlike other ATV accessories manufacturers who produce a set range of accessories with no change over a 10-20 year period, we strive to continually look for possible improvements and incorporate new technologies where possible. Customer feedback is vital to our business and we value your comments and ideas and endeavour to respond promptly to suggestions in terms of product design and development.

Quad-X Tomorrow

With ATVs becoming more capable, larger cc engines becoming ever more popular, and the growth in the demand for side-by-side vehicles, we see our ability to design and develop products that not only benefit you and your business but also provide a benefit to the environment in reducing chemicals and minimise disruption to wildlife species and habitats.

We believe there are many exciting developments ahead...with some already in the pipeline! If you have any suggestions for new products please contact us.

Environmental Concern

Quad-X is sitauated in the tranquil Co Antrim countyside, near the Glens of Antrim which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Many of the Quad-X products have evolved from concern over the environmental impact of some conventional agricultural practices. Product design has also centred around new governmental legislation and environmental schemes, all with the aim of developping products that will help preserve the environment and wildlife habitats for future generations.
