History

Camp Dresser & McKee (CDM) was founded in 1947 by Thomas Camp with partners Herman Dresser and Jack McKee.[4] In 2011, CDM acquired Wilbur Smith, a 1,000-employee transportation engineering firm to form CDM Smith.[5] CDM Smith later acquired the Ohio-based Louis Perry Group in late 2014 as an independent subsidiary to expand its industrial expertise in the rubber and plastic industry.[6] In 2015, CDM Smith moved its headquarters from a 180,000 sq ft space at 50 Hampshire St, Cambridge, MA to a 120,000 sq ft office space at 75 State Street in Boston.[7]
