Chanhassen Manufacturer Celebrates 25 Years in City
Quantum Controls, a specialized motor control circuit board manufacturer, marked its 25th year in Chanhassen during October's Manufacturing Month celebration on 'The Local' podcast.
Owner Wendy Agres said her husband founded the company 37 years ago at their dining room table, identifying a need for custom motor control design and manufacturing. The company relocated several times before settling in Chanhassen, where it built its current facility a quarter-century ago.
General Manager Haley Schubert described Quantum Controls as a unique manufacturer that designs motor control circuit boards from concept to completion. The company serves diverse industries, creating controls for agricultural grain trucks, boat lifts, treadmills and accessibility equipment for vehicles and senior living facilities.
The business maintains a partnership with Eastern Carver County School District, offering work-study programs that expose students to manufacturing careers. Schubert, who holds a mathematics degree, emphasized that manufacturing offers opportunities for workers at all education levels, from assembly positions to engineering roles.
Agres said the company's employees contribute to the local economy by shopping at Chanhassen businesses during breaks and lunch hours. She encouraged community support for manufacturing, noting that such businesses bring additional jobs and economic activity to the area.
