Technical plastic components

Yes: patented one-step metal-plastic fusion construction. The patent protects the principle that delivers the best of both worlds: the tensile pull strength of an HF-welded plastic eyelet combined with the wear resistance of a metal eyelet, built to outlast brass eyelets under UV, saltwater, freeze-thaw, and repeated cycling.

It depends which components. For mounting Carmo’s HF-weldable eyelets and clip grommets into textile, banner and tarpaulin material, Carmo builds its own eyelet machine line, paired with Carmo HF electrodes as wear-replacement consumables:

• CP9 / CP9S: automated, single-sided welding
• CP8: automated, single- and double-sided welding
• 6010: high-speed, for small eyelets
• EP3: manual, entry-level
• UG4: standalone setter tool

The broader HF-weldable range (inflation valves, threaded nozzles, filler flanges) is engineered to weld cleanly on your own welding line, with 50+ years of HF welding tradecraft built into the component rather than depending on Carmo-supplied equipment.

Beyond Carmo’s custom-developed PVC recipes, most of Carmo’s technical components are also available in PVC/PU blends, and selected components in PP. If you have specific requirements for materials, welding, films, or substrate, Carmo’s engineering team will scope the fit with you.

Yes. Beyond the standard catalogue, Carmo develops OEM-specific variants (small geometry adjustments, material substitutions, branding changes, custom flange profiles) and fully custom-designed technical components. The same design, tooling, and moulding team that runs the catalogue range handles variant and custom work, so you don’t switch suppliers between standard and custom products. The tradecraft is the same end-to-end: decades of production experience applied to your specific need.

Yes. Carmo’s scalable production model handles small-series runs economically as well as full bulk volume. For early-stage projects, prototype variants, or short-run validation builds, Carmo Print Moulding delivers functional samples in production material without a definitive tooling commitment. Larger orders run on definitive tooling. (Unit pricing is inherently higher on short runs than on volume orders; the economics of small-series production are settled during scoping.)

Three reasons converge for a technical-OEM buyer. First, integrated Danish manufacturing with the full chain from design through volume production under one engineering team, the same continuity medical buyers value applied to technical applications. Second, flagship IPs developed in-house (the patented Carmo Metal Reinforced Eyelet, proprietary PVC recipes, the Carmo Print Moulding process for rapid component variants) that you engage with directly. Third, customer relationships commonly spanning 20 to 30 years across maritime, industrial, agriculture, cleantech, and rescue markets, anchored by components engineered to extend end-product operating lifetime.

A deliberate choice. Highly automated production means the savings from offshoring would be modest, while keeping it in Denmark gives full control of quality and the ability to react fast to changing demand. For long-lifecycle technical components, that control shows up as consistency over decades. It also underpins Carmo’s environmental work: 60% of surplus production material recycled back into the supply chain, under an SBTi commitment to halve scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030.
