About IMDesign

History:

IMDesign is a leader in the field of aluminum design and manufacturing. With over 30 years of experience in the industry, our expertise is second to none.

We got our start in Barcelona Spain, successfully manufacturing aluminium windows and doors for both industrial and residential clients. In 2004 we saw a great opportunity for an innovative idea, the aluminum kitchen and other cabinetry solutions, and we’ve been successfully developing this product line ever since.

In 2008 IMDesign brought our company to Canada. We’ve combined European style and expertise, with skilled craftsmanship in aluminium design and manufacturing, to provide an extremely high quality product. Over the last few years our product line has gained popularity, especially amongst those affected by or concerned about material toxicity. This has brought IMDesign to broaden markets beginning with exports to the US as well as opening market in Europe starting in 2017. Most recently, in 2018, we also moved our manufacturing facility to Spain. This has broadened the scope of materials and finishes we can use in our product design and development. This also means our clients get the best of both worlds, whether they are located in Europe,Canada, USA or beyond! 

We now boast a stunning line of aluminum cabinetry. Our cabinetry system is based on all the advantages an aluminium cabinet can provide for designers, installers and most importantly the end user, YOU.

A kitchen is a special space in any home and should be comfortable, practical and elegant while being durable and versatile. We look forward to bringing yours ALIVE!
