From quartz to life

The Quartz Corp has gone from mining feldspar at Drag in northern Norway in 1914, and opening its U.S operations in 1957, to becoming a global industry leader within high purity quartz today. As part of this journey, we have gone from processing rocks to bringing technological progress; from mining to developing communities and neighborhoods; from providing employees with a profession to a passion. Yet not everyone is aware of the rapid development of our industry. Even many of our colleagues had little knowledge of what quartz is really about before they joined The Quartz Corp. We talked to our employees to get an even clearer vision of how quartz in different ways add life to our everyday lives: to technology, communities and people. ​
