SDC Expands Booth Presence to Showcase Custom Automation Capabilities

Steven Douglas Corp. (SDC) will exhibit at Automate, taking place June 22–25, 2026, in Chicago at McCormick Place. Attendees can visit SDC in booth #26011 to experience firsthand how a highly capable automated machine builder delivers scalable custom automation machine solutions designed to compete at the highest level.

This marks SDC’s second year exhibiting at Automate, North America’s largest robotics and automation event. Building on last year’s momentum, SDC has increased its booth footprint to create a welcoming space where manufacturers can engage directly with the team, explore equipment up close, and schedule on-site discovery meetings.

Showcasing Pre-Engineered Turnkey Automation

At Automate 2026, SDC will bring two pre-engineered pieces of equipment to demonstrate the ability to design and deliver high-performance automation machines. These solutions highlight SDC’s expertise in custom machine building, robotic integration, high-speed assembly, and precision engineering.

Manufacturers facing rising production demands, labor challenges, and cost pressures will see how SDC’s scalable automation systems:

  • Increase throughput without sacrificing precision
  • Reduce labor dependency
  • Improve process reliability and repeatability
  • Deliver long-term value through robust engineering and support

Visitors will experience how smart designs and an engineering-first approach translate into equipment that performs reliably in real-world production environments.

Engineering Automation That Runs with the Best

For more than 25 years, Steven Douglas Corp. has partnered with manufacturers across medical, automotive, consumer products, electronics, and industrial markets to develop custom automation machines tailored to exact production requirements.

From concept through installation and long-term support, SDC provides complete project management backed by its state-of-the-art facility in Concord, Ohio. Every system is built with scalability, maintainability, and durability in mind—positioning SDC as a trusted automation machine builder and top competitor in the industry, forging long-lasting customer relationships.

Steve Belliveau, Founder & CEO of Steven Douglas Corp., shared his perspective on the company’s return to Automate:

“Being back at Automate is about more than showcasing what we build — it’s about showing manufacturers that automation doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.

Our job is to simplify complex production challenges and deliver solutions that just work.

We focus on building robust, thoughtful systems that give our customers confidence and peace of mind long after installation.

We’re looking forward to connecting at booth 26011 and starting conversations about how we can make manufacturing easier, smarter, and more reliable.”
