All of Carrio Cabling’s products are manufactured at our 25,000-square-foot facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Do you charge for design services?

Generally no. We do our best work as a complete package of product design, development, and manufacturing.

Do you do rapid prototyping?

Yes. We have SLA (stereolithography) capabilities, which allow us to make objects on site in 1 to 2 days. In addition, we can build a single prototype of your product; the price for this prototyping varies widely given the wide range of material costs.

Do you have a facility in China?

No.

Do you import assemblies from China, modify them, and then sell them under Carrio Cabling’s name?

Absolutely not.

Are any of the components you use made in China?

Material substitutions and modifications to specifications without notice are common in products built overseas, particularly those built in China. For this reason and other reasons, to the extent we are able to avoid using components made in China, we do. However, it is not possible in every instance to determine where a specific component is manufactured. For example, Molex manufactures connectors and terminals in various parts of the world; some of these are made in China.

Our business office is open Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 5:30 pm, Mountain Standard Time. Our manufacturing facility is open Monday through Friday.

What type of CAD does Carrio Cabling use?

Solidworks. We use Mastercam in our machine tools.
