History
QMT WindchimesTM originated in the Florida craft show circuit in the early 80’s. Mike Throne camped in the back of his van and traveled to craft shows selling different products, including windchimes from a local producer. When his source for chimes dried up, Mike began to fabricate his own windchimes, with an eye toward continually improving his designs. Working during the week in a 10’ x 20’ warehouse, he produced the chimes that would be sold on the weekend. Mike was determined to offer the buying public a chime that was as beautiful to see as it was to hear. And it worked; the demand for his windchimes soon overwhelmed his ability to manufacture chimes so he took a deep breath and became a young entrepreneur following the American dream. He hired his first employees, found our facility in Manassas Park and set down roots in the community to produce windchimes for wholesale trade shows.
Arias® was the first line of windchimes he created, soon followed by Weatherland®. QMT WindchimesTM continued to grow in numbers of chimes produced and in the number of lines offered. The introduction of Corinthian Bells®, the first in the next generation of windchimes, created an astonishing excitement among retailers in the gift and garden industry. Corinthian Bells® are the ultimate windchimes on the market today; the exceptional tones and resonances and the contemporary design stay true to Mike’s original desire to offer chimes that were pleasing to all the senses. QMT WindchimesTM also offers other lines of windchimes, birdhouses and birdfeeders.
In the spring of 2005, Mike chose his successor, Jamie Baisden, who shared Mike’s vision for QMT. Since Jamie’s purchase of QMT in 2006, QMT has continued to move forward as a domestic producer committed to its employees, customers and community. Over the past three years QMT WindchimesTM has introduced the Shenandoah Melodies® line, the new Arias® Elite line and three new sizes in the Corinthian Bells® line. All have been well received by our customers and continue to gain in popularity. Our customer service team continues evolving to anticipate our customers’ needs. We are continuing to move forward with new sounds and designs, while maintaining the standards of excellence and innovation on which the company was built. |
