Commercial millwork & store fixtures · Vaughan, Ontario · Est. 2001
Built exactly
as drawn.
DNS Industries drafts, 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 North America, from single flagships to multi-banner rollout programs.
Host retailers, one standard. The BSH / Bosch appliance display program, deployed inside Best Buy, Home Depot, Rona and Sleep Country.
Building. Drafting, CNC machining, solid surface, acrylic, finishing, assembly and staging at 967 Edgeley Blvd since 2001.
What we 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: drafting that flags site discrepancies before material reaches the CNC, 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 draft for manufacture, machine it, finish it and stage it, and we build to the approved drawings.

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 — drafting, machining, metal, finishing, glass, lighting, graphics, staging. Here the drafting, 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.
Custom and Premium work, built to the AWI or NAAWS grade and edition your tender specifies, including NAAWS 5.0 (effective 1 September 2026).

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 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 hold.
No charge, no obligation, and no expectation that we end up on the bid list. It’s a better use of an hour than a fourth bidder.
Written for specifiers

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.
