Before Archmill House was established in 1993, the Principals were in the general contracting business, providing
fit outs for retail and commercial spaces including pharmacies, sales officesand trainingcentres . Given this background, Archmill hadfirst-hand experience in dealing with millwork manufacturers and was very comfortable working with general contractors. -
1993Became a Millwork Company
Archmill House identified a niche, manufacturing quality architectural millwork in a timely manner for the commercial construction market. In addition to the core business, opportunities arose to design and manufacture kiosks for the airline and casino sectors with such clients as Air France and the Ontario Lotto and Gaming Corporation.
The experience of manufacturing ‘repeatable’ projects proved to be successful and Archmill House saw the benefit of growing the standard and near standard product business.
