QST Industries Inc.
 PROFILE
Pockets mean more than pocket change to QST Industries. QST supplies clothing construction components -- including pocketing materials, elastics, linings and interlinings, insulations, and waistbands -- to apparel makers. The company's brands include Q-Loop resin tape (designed to guard against belt loop fray on blue jeans) and Quick Stretch clear elastics. It also supplies home furnishing fabrics and offers custom printing and die and table cutting. QST has plants in Asia, South America, and the US. Sam Haber founded QST in 1880, when he began selling trimmings to Chicago tailors. Haber's descendants still own and run the company.
