ROYAL OAK, Mich. – Deligo Technologies, a metro Detroit-based technology company, today announced that it has been awarded $1.5 million in funding from a private equity group. The funding supports Deligo’s award-winning Iced*CAD product, to continue developing the proprietary technology and to raise the company’s profile in strategic markets.

Deligo Technologies is the creator and owner of Iced*CAD technology, which delivers engineered-to-order technology via the web. It connects engineering designs with quoting, production and delivery processes, all visible to the customer. It allows clients to choose drawings and parts from an online inventory list, creating custom parts.

To reflect a new direction and extend its brand-building potential, the company recently changed its name from QSSolutions Engineered Systems Group to Deligo Technologies, LLC. Deligo is a variation on the Latin words for ‘select’ and ‘connect’, which is appropriate since Iced*CAD delivers the ability to connect companies with their clients, while giving them the freedom to customize their own products.

The funding for ongoing Iced*CAD sales and development, and the branding of Deligo Technologies has been provided by Cooke & Moses, LLC, of Columbia, South Carolina. “I believe very strongly in the power this company has to create efficient systems necessary for complex products to be built and shown to a customer within minutes,” said Roy L. Cooke, managing partner of Cooke & Moses. “We do not throw the word ‘revolutionary’ around lightly, but we have no problem doing it here.”

Deligo Technologies has successfully installed and implemented Iced*CAD with a hydraulics manufacturer and distributor in Florida, and plans to roll the technology out to additional markets, including pump and hydraulic system manufacturing, emergency and custom-made vehicles, machining and tooling, and construction.

“Iced*CAD is changing the way engineering and product design is approached,” said Tom Kelly, president and CEO of Deligo. “It is different from any other software because it combines the aspects of a web-based configurator with additional rules engines to produce a 3-D image.”

Iced*CAD has proven itself by winning the 2003 “Show Stopper” Award at the National Design and Engineering Show and CADwire.net’s 2003 “Innovator of the Year” award.
