History

Camp Dresser & McKee (CDM) was founded in 1947 by Thomas Camp with partners Herman Dresser and Jack McKee.[6] In 2011, CDM acquired Wilbur Smith, a 1,000-employee transportation engineering firm to form CDM Smith.[7] 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.[8] In 2015, CDM Smith moved its headquarters from a 180,000 square foot space at 50 Hampshire St, Cambridge, Massachusetts to a 120,000 sq ft office space at 75 State Street in Boston.[9]

On June 21, 2017, the US Justice Department declined to prosecute CDM Smith for corruption, despite finding that the company had paid $1.18 million to officials in India.[10] In July 2017, CDM Smith agreed to pay around $4 million to the US Treasury.[11]

Investigations by the Fraud Section of the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice intro bribery were closed, after CDM Smith agreed to disgorge US $4 million. CDM Smith has been sanctioned by the World Bank for “failing to disclose a subcontract on a project in Vietnam, and were conditionally non-de-barred for one and half years.[11]

On July 15, 2017, it was announced that the Goa government has asked state chief secretary Dharmendra Sharma to investigate bribes from CDM Smith in India.[12] Based on Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Central Vigilance Commission (India's anti-corruption watchdog),[13][14][15][16][17] India's Central Bureau of Investigation (parallel to USA's FBI) filed first FIR in this case on February 2, 2018.[18]
