About
Since 1993, Control Design Electrical Contractors (CDEC) has operated as an industrial automation and controls specialist out of Lakeland, FL — giving facility managers and plant engineers in the Central Florida region a state-certified partner (License EC-0002762) for complex, controls-intensive electrical projects. CDEC's core value proposition is turn-key industrial automation: they scope, design, build, install, and support complete automation systems under one roof, eliminating the coordination gaps that frustrate multi-vendor projects. Their in-house custom control panel fabrication capability means facility teams can specify panels engineered precisely to their process requirements rather than accepting off-the-shelf compromises. For operations managers overseeing manufacturing lines, distribution centers, or institutional facilities in the greater Lakeland and Polk County market, CDEC's industrial computer and PLC programming services address the full automation stack — from field-level I/O wiring and power distribution to ladder logic, HMI configuration, and ongoing programming support. This depth matters when a line goes down and the root cause spans both electrical infrastructure and control logic. CDEC holds a Florida State Certified Electrical Contractor license, meeting the compliance bar required for permitted commercial and industrial work across Florida. Their turn-key delivery model is particularly well-suited to capital improvement projects in industrial and warehouse environments where coordinating separate electrical, controls, and integration contractors drives schedule risk and cost overruns. Property managers and facility directors evaluating CDEC should engage them early in the project design phase to leverage their panel fabrication and programming capabilities as an integrated service. CDEC can be reached toll-free at 800-661-9346 or locally at 863-687-4246.
