QPI’s production and procurement heritage spans more than half a century of product development and manufacturing in Asia.
50 Years+ Production in Asia
QPILtd and First-Res (a division of QPILtd) have their roots in the production of Floaties Learn to Swim Products.
Klaus Maertin, a German immigrant to Australia established a sign manufacturing company on the northern beaches of Sydney in 1960.
As he started a family he recognized the need for something to give children more confidence while being introduced to swimming.
Thus Floaties was born, becoming a central part of Australia’s famous swim culture and a generic name for “armbands” the world over.
Initial Floaties production was in Sydney, however, mass production was soon moved to Asia. Frist to Taiwan, later expanding to China and Malaysia.
During the 1960’s production in Asia was challenging. Constant vigilance was needed with quality control around all aspects of raw material, production and product testing.
The strict attention to detail made Floaties a hallmark of quality and reliability. Floaties were backed by an unconditional money back guarantee, at a time when “the norm” was for inflatable products to be very unreliable.
QPILtd spun off from the family business, manufacturing OEM products and developing a wider range of products in the Floaties range.
First Responders, Medical Facilities, and Wholesales can now order directly from First-Res, benefiting from that 50+ years of Asian manufacturing, product development and quality control.
Mass Production – Your Current Needs Built on 50+ Years Experience
As a division of QPILtd, First-Res draws on a heritage of 50+ years experience, manufacturing in Asia and over a decade of having an office in Mainland China.
QPI has established production relationships with an extensive library of factories and raw material suppliers across Asia, some for over 20 years, going into second generation of factory management.
