Setouchi, part of the Tsuneishi shipbuilding group, is authorised Kodiak dealer. "We are very excited to have a strong organization such as Tsuneishi Group believe in Quest, our products and our philosophy, and invest its resources in the company," said Sam Hill, CEO of Quest.

"Over the last few years, we have experienced steady growth, and with new financial capitalisation and a shared understanding of the potential opportunities in the marketplace for expansion, we are looking forward to significant growth for Quest in the years ahead."
