History
Quark was founded in Denver, Colorado in 1981. Named after the subatomic particle proposed as the building block for all matter, the goal was to create software that would be the platform for publishing.

QuarkXPress made an immediate impact when it was released in 1987. Desktop publishing was in its infancy, and most publications were produced mechanically. QuarkXPress introduced precision typography, layout, and color control to the desktop computer, and delivered those features to designers at a fraction of the cost of proprietary typesetting systems. There are now more than three million QuarkXPress users worldwide.

In 1988, Quark began international operations with the establishment of offices across Europe and the Far East. Quark maintains service, support, and development offices in France, Germany, India, Japan, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Customers in more than 100 countries worldwide rely on Quark products to create, design, and manage their documents - from newspapers, magazines, and books to catalogs, brochures, packaging, and online material.

Today, Quark maintains its industry leadership with a product line that ties together traditional print publishing with enterprise content management, personalization, and tools for creating collaborative, cross-media workflows.

With QuarkXPress, we helped spark the revolution in desktop publishing. With the Quark suite of enterprise publishing software — Quark Publishing System, Quark Content Manager, and Quark Dynamic Document Server — Quark is paving the way for custom publishing in a multiple-channel environment. The company's industry-leading design, publishing, personalization, and content management software let publishers efficiently create content once and deliver it anywhere, now.

Quark is headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The company is privately held.
