It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Magnus Palmstierna; co-founder of QTRCO and the man who made all of this possible.

Twenty-nine years ago, Magnus took a chance on an idea and on the people behind it. Everything QTRCO has built, every actuator we've shipped, every relationship we've earned, it all traces back to him. He was a partner, a mentor, and a true friend.

We are who we are because of Magnus. Thank you doesn't begin to cover it, but it's what we have.
Rest well, Magnus.
With love,
QTRCO Team
