DSS | COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL SCAFFOLD

OEM

The DSS OEM team designs, assists in the design, and manufactures top quality scaffold components for our customers to private label and market as their own.

Our engineering teams work closely with our customers to create scaffolding products and equipment to meet their customers’ needs. We aim to engineer and re-engineer components to remove costs while maintaining quality meaning higher margins for our customers.

Our expert engineers work from design drawings or simple concepts to create new and re-engineered products to best fit the needs of our customers’ customers.

We have built an enviable reputation within the industry and work with brand-name scaffolding providers from across the globe producing their shoring, and forming products that cater for the need of multiple industries.

As the original pioneer of OEM scaffold manufacturing, DSS’s capabilities have been subject to rigorous audits and reviews by some of the best manufacturers. DSS factories hold ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, OHSAS 18001, and EN 1090 certifications. All components where necessary are tested to the latest ANSI and CSA standards.

Quality and customer service have allowed DSS to continue to expand its manufacturing capacity to an unparalleled level. DSS ships more than 60,000 metric tons of material per year and is continuously improving and expanding its footprint through factory investments in robotics, advanced roll forms, progressive dies, and improved floor layouts.

DSS is dedicated to constant improvement, safety, and industry awareness to ensure our products remain the first choice for our clients.
