For Architects, Designers & General Contractors

DNS Industries is the millwork and fixture manufacturing partner for the trade. Architects and designers bring the vision; general contractors need it built to spec and on time. We engineer, fabricate, finish, and stage the complete package under one roof in Vaughan, Ontario — one accountable partner, from shop drawings to delivery.

Fluted oak casework meeting travertine counters and brass detailing with integrated LED shelf lighting, manufactured by DNS Industries — Oak, travertine, brass and integrated lighting meeting in one assembly. Every junction here is a place a split supply chain would show a tolerance.

One accountable partner, every material

Wood, metal, solid surface, glass, integrated LED, finishing, and staging — all in-house. Instead of coordinating a dozen subcontractors and hoping the interfaces line up, GCs get a single point of accountability for the entire millwork and fixture scope. Fewer handoffs, fewer surprises, one number to call.

We make your design buildable

DNS engineers every project for manufacture and produces shop drawings in-house. We handle submittals and value engineering that protects design intent while holding the budget — taking work off the GC’s plate and giving the design team a fabricator who reads the drawings the way they were meant.

Built for large, complex packages

Long illuminated retail display run in oak with concealed LED lighting and integrated point-of-sale casework, manufactured by DNS Industries — A single continuous run carrying display, lighting and point-of-sale. Packages at this scale are engineered, shipped and staged as one release, not assembled from separate trades on site.

DNS delivers commercial millwork and fixture programs typically from $500,000 to $10,000,000 — flagship-grade retail, institutional, healthcare, hospitality, and cultural work, including multi-location rollouts.

Proven at the highest tier

DNS manufactures for luxury flagship and national retail brands through leading general contractors, and for landmark institutional and cultural projects. Current and recent work includes:

International retail — L’Occitane (millwork supplier of record, North America), Mango, Uniqlo, Herschel Supply Co. and Le Creuset
National shop-in-shop rollouts — the BSH and Bosch appliance display program, deployed across Best Buy, Home Depot, Rona and Sleep Country
Brand showrooms — King Living, Silk & Snow and Cozey
Cannabis retail — more than 350 locations across more than 20 banners, including Fire & Flower, Friendly Stranger, Sessions Cannabis, Hunny Pot and The Woods

Restaurant and hospitality — Michel’s Bakery Café (Yorkdale and First Canadian Place), Azul, Freebird Market and Chop Hop

The scale behind that: DNS is the millwork supplier of record for L’Occitane North America and has produced more than 60 L’Occitane stores across Canada and the United States — the same store, built to the same standard, sixty times over. In cannabis retail DNS has fixtured more than 350 locations. Repeatable multi-location production, not one-off fabrication, is what this shop is built around.

Standards you can spec to

DNS builds to defined architectural woodwork quality grades (the AWI standards define Economy, Custom, and Premium). We match the grade to the application and the spec — so the millwork meets the drawing without over-building the budget.
