About Quartet
Quartet has manufactured whiteboards, bulletin boards, and presentation accessories in Lake Zurich, Illinois since 1954, establishing the standard for American classroom and office presentation equipment.
Heritage & History
Quartet was founded in Lake Zurich, Illinois in 1954 as part of what would become ACCO Brands, producing the bulletin boards and chalk boards that were standard equipment in American schools and offices. The company developed the melamine dry-erase board surface in the 1970s — a surface that could be written on with dry-erase markers and erased cleanly without the dust and mess of chalk boards.
The Lake Zurich facility has been Quartet's manufacturing base since founding, and the Illinois location has supported the company's growth from educational products into a full line of presentation and organization equipment for corporate and professional users. Quartet's products appear in schools, corporate meeting rooms, and home offices across the country.
Made in Lake Zurich, Illinois
Quartet manufactures dry-erase boards, corkboards, and combination boards at the Lake Zurich facility using melamine dry-erase surfaces, natural cork, aluminum frames, and tempered glass for premium models. The manufacturing process for glass dry-erase boards requires tempering the glass to safety standards and applying a backing that provides the whiteboard contrast while the glass surface remains the writing surface.
The corkboard line uses natural Portuguese cork that provides self-healing properties — pushpin holes close over time rather than accumulating visible damage as in synthetic alternatives. This material specification is a quality decision that affects product longevity for users who change posted materials frequently.
