What Ten Plus Architectural Products Ltd. does

Ten Plus Architectural Products Ltd. is a Mississauga, Ontario-based specialty manufacturer and distributor of architectural metal products, founded in 1998. The company manufactures architectural louvers, sunshades and fins, custom metal fabrications, and stainless steel foot grilles, while also distributing curated third-party lines from Bolar, Balco, and Legrand to offer a broader specification portfolio to its customers. Its client base consists of architects, general contractors, and institutional and government owners, with named references including Metrolinx, the City of Toronto, Canadian Blood Services, universities, and airports.

The business operates a quote-based, project-driven revenue model. Sales are executed through an internal inside-sales team supplemented by third-party manufacturer representative firms covering designated U.S. territories, enabling reach beyond the Ontario home market. Product positioning emphasizes alignment with LEED green-building certification standards, and the company supports specifying architects and contractors through project consultation, custom fabrication, and supply of complementary branded lines.

The firm is privately held with no public funding history disclosed, employs roughly 16 people including long-tenured associates with deep trade expertise, and competes as a niche specialty supplier in the North American architectural metalwork segment. Its value proposition to buyers rests on combined manufacturing capability, curated third-party product access, specification support, and 25+ years of project references across transit, healthcare, municipal, higher-education, and aviation end markets.
