The Beginning
Cable-Lock started out in 1969 in Toronto, Canada, as a designer of electronic connectors for the expanding cable communications market. In the beginning, manufacturing operations on screw machines were outsourced while assembly operations were performed within the main plant.
Design and Manufacturing Capability
Eventually in the mid-1980s Cable-Lock moved to larger facilities and purchased large scale machines to manufacture components in-house. One objective was increased control of the manufacturing process, including timely response to customer orders and in-process inspection and testing. Design control during product development was achieved with the purchase of CNC machinery dedicated for prototyping of new products.
Again the company expanded and moved in the early 1990s to an ideal location in a prominent business park within minutes of Toronto's Pearson International Airport, the largest and busiest airport in Canada. The new plant was modeled as a clean, organized and efficient operation.
ISO 9001 Quality Standard
In 1998, Cable-Lock achieved certification for the ISO 9001 quality standard, a testament to the high standard of the quality system. As a design and manufacturing company, customers can be assured that the quality of the product, price and delivery will satisfy all expectations.
