History
CD CONSULT goes back further than 2009.
In 1986, my father, Casters Francois, completed his first variable concrete machine, the DRION 2500, and patented this machine.
During the mid-1990s, business was booming, and dozens of machines were produced in Opglabbeek.
By the late 1990s, CMI approached my father with an offer to purchase his shares in the company.
In 2000, Drion was then acquired by CMI, who also acquired a commercial property in Opglabbeek where variable machines were produced for the global market.
In 2002, Terex acquired CMI, becoming a publicly traded company, and we continued to produce machines under the Terex name.
However, Terex's shares plummeted on the stock market, leading the company to decide to discontinue the concrete division, resulting in the closure of five companies worldwide.
Afterward, I founded CDC, while my father continued under the name CCF.
In 2018, Miller Formless approached CDC with an offer to sell their products in Europe. Not knowing them, I traveled to Chicago, where they expressed interest in acquiring CCF.
In 2019, CCF became MFS European Service Area, with Miller Formless holding leasing the property from CDC, and I was appointed director for MFS ESA.
By 2023, MFS ESA ceased operations, and CDC resumed its activities. We entered into a manufacturing and distribution contract with Miller Formless, enabling CDC to continue building variable machines for the global market.
Meanwhile, CDC has developed its own machines, with the first CD 100 SF recently delivered. This machine can be equipped with either a diesel engine or a battery.
