The founders of QAS, Marc Grostefon and Tim Blauvelt, both worked as engineers for other HVAC companies before starting on their own.

Many companies take pride in having huge staffs to complete their projects. But at QAS we think a little different-we owe our success to our small, close-knit team. If you'd like to meet them just scroll down and you'll see the entire staff. We feel that we can serve our clients and partners most efficiently by keeping our team small and focused on the things we do best. . . and we continually look for ways to do them better. That's where our name, Quality Applied Systems, comes from - our commitment to quality. Quality is our first name.

Have a look below at the great people that are behind this business. We look forward to getting to know you.

Marc Grostefon, President
ENVIRONMENTAL SALES - Fort Wayne

Marc received his education in manufacturing technology at IPFW, then went on to work as an HVAC engineer for several companies. When he eventually worked up to an administration position he asked himself: "Why am I working for someone else? I should be working for myself." And so QAS was born with the help of his business partner, Tim Blauvelt, in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Beyond his role as president, Marc handles Environmental sales involving make-up air systems.

In his spare time Marc enjoys working on cars, oil painting, and photography.

Tim Blauvelt, Vice President
ENVIRONMENTAL SALES - Fort Wayne

Tim began his career working for Schenkel-Shultz as a Mechanical Engineer. When Marc Grostefon came along and offered Tim a partnership to start QAS, the timing couldn't have been better. After 8 years of service, Schenkel-Shultz was going the way of so many large companies and eliminating Tim's position.

Tim is QAS' pointman for chillers, critical environment units, and system application. After 25 years in the business, he knows environmental systems like the back of his hand.

Scott Masterson
POWER SALES - South Bend

 With so many companies relying on computer networks to keep their operations running, they need back-up systems they can trust. So, when we were looking for someone to be our power-systems pointman we knew we had to find someone good.

Enter Scott Masterson. In addition to being a college-trained electrician, Scott spent 13 years as a commercial electrician. He also worked as a manufacturing foreman. Needless to say, Scott knows his way around electricity.
