About CDS

Before opening its doors in 1997, CDS’s founders had envisioned a company that would set new standards in the industry for quality, reliable extrusion machinery designed to the customer's exact specifications and backed by uncompromising and personalized service. These were to collectively define CDS's advantage in the marketplace, where it stood to compete with a wide range of suppliers, from the small built-to-order machine shop to Fortune 500 company.

10 years and 120,000 square-feet of production space later, CDS, with the support of its employees worldwide, has turned the vision into an everyday reality. By working closely with its customers and staying true to its core values, CDS has solidified its position as a leading manufacturer of downstream machinery for the plastic extrusion markets in North America.

As CDS reflects on its solid track record for delivering proven products at competitive prices to the marketplace, it eagerly looks forward to many more decades of opportunities and success.
