Qintex Limited was an Australian financial services company founded on April 1, 1975, as Takeovers, Equities & Management Securities (TEAM).
At its peak, Qintex owned interests in Channel 7, Mirage Resorts, Hardy Brothers jewellery retail concern and a number of other businesses.
Skase expanded the company substantially, initially into retail with investments in Hardy Bros and car dealer Nettlefolds.
The first signs of collapse showed in October 1989, when the American subsidiary filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after Qintex failed to provide financing for a debt payment.
It was in 1991 that Qintex filed for bankruptcy and was liquidated, Bank-appointed receivers created Seven Network Limited in order to bundle together the bankrupt company's assets.
