Formalizing decades of expertise to deliver scalable, high-performance manufacturing solutions for OEM partners
May 26, 2026 – (APPLETON, WI) – CMD Corporation, a global leader in converting solutions, today announced the formal launch of CMD Manufacturing Solutions, a dedicated offering focused on contract manufacturing, precision assembly, and fabrication services for complex equipment.
For decades, CMD has built, assembled, and supported sophisticated machinery for customers around the world. Along the way, the company has also successfully executed contract manufacturing projects—leveraging its deep expertise, skilled workforce, and advanced manufacturing infrastructure. CMD Manufacturing Solutions formalizes and expands these capabilities into a focused, strategic offering.
“CMD Manufacturing Solutions represents the next evolution of what we’ve already been doing for years,” said Hans Bachmeier, President of CMD Corporation. “We are taking proven experience and bringing it to market with greater clarity and intent. This allows us to better serve our customers, diversify our business, and strengthen our position for the future.” CMD Manufacturing Solutions is purpose-built to support OEMs and industrial partners in need of a trusted, experienced manufacturing partner for complex equipment builds. Capabilities include:
- Mechanical and electrical assembly capabilities supporting full machine builds and complex systems, including electrical panel assembly, machine wiring and harnessing, and UL/ETL-certified assemblies
- Precision fabrication and certified welding to support complex equipment, structural components, and scalable production
- Advanced machining capabilities delivering high-precision, repeatable components for complex systems
- Finishing, inspection, and quality processes ensuring every product is complete, verified, and production-ready
- Engineering, design, and support expertise focused on performance, scalability, and long-term reliability
- Integrated supply chain and procurement support
Backed by decades of real-world machinery experience, CMD brings a unique advantage to contract manufacturing—an understanding of how machines perform in operation, not just how they are built.
“Customers today are looking for more than a vendor—they need a partner who understands their equipment, their processes, and their performance goals,” Hans added. “They want someone who can step in with real-world experience, anticipate challenges, and deliver solutions that perform beyond the build. CMD Manufacturing Solutions brings that level of partnership—combining deep machinery expertise with a hands-on approach to help our customers operate more efficiently, scale with confidence, and achieve long-term success.”
CMD Manufacturing Solutions will operate out of CMD’s existing manufacturing facility in Appleton, Wisconsin—leveraging the same skilled workforce, infrastructure, and operational excellence that have defined the company for more than 45 years. This expansion does not shift our focus; we will continue to design and deliver the high quality converting machinery our customers rely on. These customers remain a top priority, and this initiative is intended to strengthen our overall business while enhancing our ability to support them for the long term.
This initiative aligns with CMD’s broader mission of Making it Better Together, reinforcing its commitment to collaboration, innovation, and long-term customer success.
