Commercial millwork & store fixtures · Vaughan, Ontario · Est. 2001
Built exactly
as drawn.
DNS Industries engineers, machines, finishes and stages commercial millwork and store fixtures in Vaughan, Ontario, for the architects, general contractors and brands who need the fiftieth location to match the first.
An architectural set, a bid package, or a sketch on a napkin. We’ll come back with a real number — and tell you what we’d change.
L’Occitane stores built across North America in four formats — inline, outlet, kiosk and airport. Millwork supplier of record.
Cannabis retail locations across Ontario — single flagships through to multi-banner rollout programs, at a volume almost nobody in the trade has had to hold.
Host retailers, one standard. The BSH / Bosch appliance display program, deployed inside Best Buy, Home Depot, Rona and Sleep Country.
Building. Engineering, CNC machining, solid surface, acrylic, finishing, assembly and staging at 967 Edgeley Blvd since 2001.
What we actually are
A multi-site fixture manufacturer first.
Most millwork shops are built to make one beautiful thing. DNS is built to make the same beautiful thing again — in a different mall, a different province, a different country, eighteen months later, to the same standard.
That is a different discipline, and it shows up in unglamorous places: engineering that survives a site nobody field-measured, shop drawings written so location twelve doesn’t re-litigate location one, and a finishing line that can hold a colour across a two-year program.
If your project is a single location, that discipline still shows up as a package that goes together the first time, on the day the schedule said. If it’s a program, it is the entire reason there is a second, a fifth and a twentieth.
Design intent belongs to the architect. We engineer for manufacture, machine it, finish it, and stage it — and we say so plainly, because “built exactly as drawn” is the promise that actually matters to the person who drew it.

Capability
What we make,
and what we manage.
Between an architect’s drawing and a finished store sits work that usually gets split across four vendors and a schedule — engineering, machining, metal, finishing, glass, lighting, graphics, staging. Here the engineering, machining, finishing, assembly and staging happen in our own plant; metal, powder coating, glass, stone and graphics are made to our shop drawings by specialist suppliers we manage. One schedule, one set of drawings and one team coordinating how the parts fit together before anything reaches site.
Built to AWI / NAAWS Custom and Premium grades — to whichever edition your tender names. NAAWS 5.0 has been in force since 1 September 2026 and binds every tender issued since.
Selected work
Programs, not one-offs.
L’Occitane North America
Millwork supplier of record. Sixty-plus stores in four formats, built from one plant 4,000 km from San Juan and 3,300 km from North Vancouver — one standard, held while every site changed.

Juno Veterinary, Queen St E
Arched banquette niches, a maple slat ceiling, treatment island and kennel bank — a retail-grade front of house sitting on a clinical back of house, machined as one package.

Cannabis retail, at scale
More than 350 locations across Ontario — Fire & Flower, Friendly Stranger, Happy Dayz and Prairie Records under the Fika group, plus Hunny Pot, Sessions, Woods and Circa 1818. Not the identity, but the muscle everything else runs on.

Where the work lands
Eight sectors,
one shop floor.
For architects, designers & general contractors
Specify it once.
Get it built.
By the time a millwork package reaches a bid list, most of the decisions that determine whether it can actually be built are already locked.
We would rather be useful earlier — reading a drawing set before it goes out, saying plainly what is going to be expensive and why, and helping you write a Division 06 40 00 section that describes something a shop can actually hold.
No charge, no obligation, and no expectation that we end up on the bid list. It is a better use of an hour than a fourth bidder.
Written for specifiers
The answers, before you have to ask for them.
Start here
Send us your drawings.
An architectural set, a bid package, a sketch, or a photo of the last one that did not work. We will tell you what it costs, what we would change, and when you can have it.
