About Us
Build things that leave the building
CMD is an Orlando-area shop where engineers, fabricators, and welders build real equipment that ships to real plants. If you'd rather make things than talk about them, we should talk.

In summary
Custom Metal Designs hires engineers, fabricators, welders, machinists, and automation technicians at its shop in Central Florida, west of Orlando. It's a place where design and build sit under one roof, so the people who draw a part are down the hall from the people who make it. Founded in 1972 and now part of the DCC Automation Group, CMD offers the stability of a legacy manufacturer with the momentum of a growing group.
