A Storied History
Back
1950’s
Captivated by the beauty of his natural surroundings in Altilia, Rinaldo discovers a deep passion for woodworking.
1960’s
Recognized as an outstanding tailor in the town of Altilia, Italy, Francessco Caruso educates his son, Rinaldo, on the qualities of a successful craftsman: precision and attention to detail. At age 12, Rinaldo begins to work for a custom woodworking and upholstery company, developing his skills to become a true artisan.
A young man with great aspirations, Rinaldo embarks on a ship from Naples to take him over the Atlantic to Toronto, Canada.
1970’s
Rinaldo excels in his new Canadian home and develops into a master furniture maker at industry-leading hospitality upholsterer, Centrack. Rinaldo is quickly promoted to supervisor and his nickname Ron, given by his colleagues, sticks.
1980’s
Now a master of his craft, Rinaldo (Ron) launches his own upholstery business: Quality Upholstery, manufacturing for the hospitality industry with a dedication to the highest quality standards. As a successful entrepreneur, Ron continues to build a team of experienced European and Italian woodworkers, ensuring exceptional product quality for the world’s best designers.
1990’s
Quality Upholstery evolves into Quality & Company and Ron’s son, Frank Caruso is appointed CEO. The company continues to strengthen its position within the hospitality market.

Rising demands lead to the need for expanded space and more efficiently run production lines. Quality & Company moves to a larger facility with improved processes, maintaining the company’s high standard of quality for custom-made furniture.
Continuously enhancing their operations and technology, the company imports premium machinery from Italy to streamline their frame production and upholstering process.
2020’s
