About Quinstar

QuinStar Technology, Inc. is an ISO 9001:2008-certified millimeter-wave technology company, offering innovative product solutions.

QuinStar Technology, Inc. was founded in March 1993 by seasoned managers from major aerospace companies.

QuinStar has expertise with millimeter-wave products, microelectronic assembly, rapid prototyping and mass customization. We serve established, as well as emerging markets, and system applications in the commercial, scientific, and defense arenas.

QuinStar products range from standard catalog components to specialized high-performance RF signal generating, amplifying and conditioning components to fully integrated and customized assemblies and subsystems for digital and analog sensor, communications and test applications.

We acquired DCL Inc. a small local electronic engineering firm in 1996.

In 1997, we acquired the complete assets of CERNEX Inc, a microwave amplifiers company in Sunnyvale, CA.

QuinStar acquired the manufacturing rights and all equipment and inventory of the Silicon IMPATT diode product line from Raytheon in 1998.

In 2002, we purchased all assets and the name of MPI / Millimeter Products, Inc. (www.milpi.com), a millimeter-wave components company in New Hampshire. The company was moved to our Torrance facility in 2003. This purchase expanded our waveguide and test components products similar to the TRG product line.

We expanded into the cryogenic amplifier business in 2004, with the acquisition of Berkshire Technologies, Inc. (www.berkshiretech.com). This acquisition enables us to further support scientific research customers.

After Mr. George Grund, the founder of PAMTECH, passed away unexpectedly in April 2010, QuinStar acquired PAMTECH's assets and agreed to retain former employees of PAMTECH to assure continued operation of the company.

PAMTECH's operation was moved to our Torrance location, and with the additional support of QuinStar resources, there will be no interruption of PAMTECH production. The newly formed QuinStar / PAMTECH subsidiary will continue George Grund’s tradition of innovative and superior microwave component design, as well as continued support for legacy PAMTECH products.

The acquisition of PAMTECH, along with the acquisition of Berkshire Technology provides us with the unique capability to offer cryogenic products to the radio astronomy science and quantum computing research fields.

During the recent years, we at QuinStar have significantly upgraded our antenna range, environmental test facility, and our machining capability.

We are a company of diverse abilities that continues to broaden our areas of expertise. Our goal is to provide efficient services and quality products to meet the many needs of our customers.
