From Then to Now: Automation Built to Perform

February 23, 2026

Automation has been a core capability at CMD Corporation for more than 25 years; developed on production floors, refined through continuous improvement, and proven in demanding, 24/7 manufacturing environments.

For decades, we have engineered automation alongside the converting lines we build and support. Today, we are placing greater emphasis on sharing the depth of that expertise and the performance it consistently delivers.

Built Through Production. Designed for Performance.

Over the past two and a half decades, CMD has fully or partially automated more than 100 converting lines in the trash bag market. That level of implementation reflects more than technical capability, it reflects operational understanding built through repetition, accountability, and long-term customer partnerships.

Every automation solution begins with engineering principles and thoughtful design. Its true strength is developed over time through real-world production, continuous refinement, and measurable results on the plant floor.

Our automation solutions have been shaped by what manufacturers consistently need their operations to achieve:

  • Keep production lines running despite labor shortages
  • Increase uptime, throughput, and output consistency
  • Improve ergonomics and operator safety
  • Ensure seamless integration between converting, inspection, and packaging
  • Provide future-ready platforms designed for expansion and upgrades

From automatic roll handling through finished goods preparation for shipping, CMD focuses on the entire production ecosystem rather than isolated upgrades. Every system is designed to strengthen workflows, improve consistency, and support long-term operational performance.

Experience That Evolves with Technology

Automation technology has advanced significantly over the past 25 years with smarter controls, improved diagnostics, greater flexibility, and expanded data visibility.

From our customers’ perspective, however, the priorities remain consistent:

  • Reliability that performs shift after shift
  • Integration that fits seamlessly into existing operations
  • Systems designed for durability in high-demand environments
  • Investments that deliver measurable, sustained value

CMD adopts new technologies with intention, grounding innovation in proven engineering principles while ensuring performance holds up under real production demands.

Proven Where It Matters Most
