History
CalCo has been designing and producing high quality cutaways
since 1953. It all started when founder, Jim Calhoun, was
a sales manager at the RegO Division of the Bastian-Blessing
Company of Chicago. The company, a manufacturer of gas controls,
used cutaways to demonstrate its products. Because of other
priorities, the company's tool room couldn't make the cutaways
on a timely basis so Jim decided to make them on his own.
Eventually, he started his own cutaway business, selling his
services to former competitors in the welding industry. He
soon became the industry's major producer of cutaways and
CalCo has been growing and adding new services ever since.
In the 50 years that CalCo has been in the cutaway business
CalCo has expanded to include many new products, including
working models, animation, scale models, motorized display
pedestals, shipping containers, cases, printed materials and
signage, training kiosks, web enabled training and custom
sales awards. CalCo is constantly striving to bring new, innovative
products to our clients but one thing hasn't changed, the
cornerstone of CalCo's corporate philosophy is still unparalleled
customer service.
