About Us

20+ YEARS OF TURN-KEY SOLUTIONS.

Since 2002, Southern Design Services has provided top-quality, turn-key solutions for the industrial sector. From humble beginnings as a small team focused on staff augmentation and management, SDS has since evolved into a complete Turn-Key operation that’s capable of overseeing any type of industrial project. 

SDS Mechanical and Automation, a division of SDS, has become a unique partner through our ability to handle a project from conception all the way to installation and training. Our client list includes some of the biggest names in manufacturing and production, and our projects have taken us not only across the United States, but throughout the world. We strive to form long-lasting and mutually beneficial relationships with our clients, and are proud to say that many of the projects we take on are commissioned by repeat customers. 

Even after more than 20 years of offering top-notch engineering, fabrication, installation, and management services to our clients, we still stay true to the values on which SDS was founded: Honesty, Dependability, and Flexibility. Through these values, we ensure that we’re getting the absolute best out of everything we have, from our materials to our employees. 

We take pride in employing top-of-the-line professionals from all walks of life and areas of expertise. Our team consists not only of the region’s best engineers and designers, but also includes top-tier programmers, welders, machine operators, and installation specialists –
all of whom can help get your project completed on time and under-budget.

The days of outsourcing work to multiple contractors are over. Contact SDS today to find out what full-scale, Turn-Key mechanical and automation solutions can do for your business.
