CDI Corp (CDI Corporation) is a multidisciplinary engineering and technical resourcing firm founded in Philadelphia in 1950 as Comprehensive Designers, Inc., later listed on the NYSE from 1988 to 2017. After being taken private by AE Industrial Partners in September 2017 for approximately $176M ($8.25 per share), AE divested CDI's aerospace business to Belcan (2017), talent and technology services to Artech (2018), and architecture/engineering subsidiary L.R. Kimball to TranSystems (2021), refocusing the remaining CDI Engineering Solutions on integrated engineering, design, project support, procurement, and construction management for the energy and chemicals industries. On January 1, 2025 CDI Engineering Solutions, LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Consulting Engineers and now trades as Tata Consulting Engineers USA, LLC, headquartered in Houston, TX with 650+ employees across ten engineering centers. CDI Corp has no public developer APIs; the company delivers engineering services and staff augmentation rather than software products. The tagline carried by the operating business is "Quality Results. Sustainable Solutions. Safely Delivered."
