Overview

The Quickscell Company (also known as Quicksell Company and Quikscell Company) is a military goods manufacturer with branches across the Inner Sphere. Though known throughout the Sphere, their products are notorious for being of low quality. In fact the AFFS doesn't accept Quickscell products into service until a team of technicians have inspected every vehicle. If repairs need to be made, they are made immediately and the AFFS charges the time to Quickscell.[1]

History

At the time of the Clan Invasion, the Quikscell plant on Pandora was in the firing line, as was the Red Devil Industries plant on the same world. While the Red Devil plant was lost to the Clan Jade Falcon forces that attacked Pandora, Quikscell had already used funding from the Federated Commonwealth to relocate one of their manufacturing lines to Richvale and had recently acquired the rights to produce a number of Red Devil vehicles. One of those vehicles was the Condor, which Quikscell began producing from Richvale. In the wake of the FedCom Civil War Quikscell targeted local militia units and desperate regular units as customers for their new, upgraded version of the Condor, counting on the need for equipment dominating over the poor reputation earned by most Quikscell products.[2]

The aggressive marketing campaign for the new Condor was hugely successful, with orders dramatically outstripping the production output available from the Richvale plant by 3075 as units such as the 4th Skye Rangers and 6th Lyran Guards buying large quantities of the new tank. In addition to commissioning an extra production line at Richvale, company executive Burton Richards had the novel idea of shipping vehicles out to customers as unassembled component kits, sold at a slight discount, which could then be assembled by the tech staff at the receiving unit. This idea proved successful, although not without breeding reliability problems for a number of units. With the Jihad escalating the level of conflict throughout the Inner Sphere the demand for these vehicles increased continually, with the Condor seeing action on worlds like Skye and Coventry against the Word of Blake and with units as far afield as the Duchy of Andurien, Regulan Principality and Duchy of Orloff purchasing the Condor.[2] Quikscell further expanded their Richvale plant by acquiring a license to manufacture the Saxon APC from Cyclops Incorporated.[3]

In response to the Clan Invasion, Quickscell moved their Pandora based facilities to Richvale in the mid-3050s. This move allowed the company to overhaul their equipment and business practices to eliminate waste and inefficiency.[4]

During the long Jihad the facility on Ares suffered heavy capital and personnel losses of 85%, and the operating capacity of the factory is reduced to 52% of their main production volume in 3079.[5] To bolster their meager military industrial base, the Filtvelt Coalition converted the Quickscell repair facility on Broken Wheel to enable it to produce hovercraft from 3080 onwards, although production initially went to local defense concerns before the Filtvelt Citizen's Militia received any equipment.[6] During the Dark Age the Quikscell plant on Broken Wheel expanded well beyond the original production lines for Pegasus Scout Hovertanks, adding production lines for such vehicles as the Manticore main battle tank, LRM and SRM Carriers and Armored Personnel Carriers.[7]

Leadership

The CEO in 3067 is Josef Kenworth, with Sean Veranov overseeing FWL operations.[8] The Federated Suns branch was overseen by Sean Hai Wong.[1] Operations in the Capellan Confederation were handled by Dieter Brasche, a transfer from the Lyran Commonwealth branch.[9] The company's main office and headquarters are based in the Lyran Commonwealth.[10]
