Renowned for their unsurpassed quality, durability and innovative design, Quantegy products dominate every professional media arena, including Grammy-winning master recordings, TV field acquisition, instrumentation recording for defense and space exploration, and data storage applications worldwide.

The Company’s rich history and quality leader position date back to the days of WWII, when General Eisenhower assigned Major John Orr to develop an American magnetic tape manufacturing facility. That company, in 1959, became a part of the Ampex Corporation. In 1995 Ampex sold the Ampex Recording Media Corporation division to outside investors and it became Quantegy, Inc., which moved its headquarters to the Ampex Recording Media Corp. manufacturing facility in Opelika, AL.

In Professional Video, Quantegy supplies a wide range of analog and digital videotape products. The Company continues to be the industry leader in the Analog Audio Market. In the last decade, more gold and platinum records have been made on their famous formulations than on all the other brands combined, and most Hollywood motion pictures feature soundtracks recorded on Quantegy.

Quantegy is the only name trusted by space, defense, and emergency agencies around the world for instrumentation recording.
