"We Make Furniture Better: The RAMS Industries Story"
The idea for RAMS Industries came from a clear gap in the Canadian market: there was no distributor focused exclusively on edgebanding. Unlike Germany or the U.S., where dedicated edgebanding specialists exist, Canadian distributors mainly prioritize hardware or board products—often treating edgebanding as secondary. But as decorative panels evolved with more complex finishes like textures, high-gloss, super matte, and a growing array of solids and patterns, the need for perfectly matched edgebanding became critical. Woodworkers needed a reliable, go-to source—and that’s the role RAMS Industries set out to fill.
Our mission is simple: We Make Furniture Better. That means more than just delivering quality products—it means offering greater choice, faster access to matching solutions, and innovations that help streamline manufacturing processes. Whether it's saving time on the shop floor or eliminating paint steps with custom programs, we're committed to helping customers do their best work, more efficiently.
My journey in the woodworking career began in Germany with Surteco, one of the world’s leading edgebanding manufacturers. There, I developed a strong appreciation for product quality and precision. After relocating to Canada in 1999, I continued with Surteco in various leadership roles, building strong relationships with OEMs and distributors across North America.
In 2018, I decided to take the leap and build RAMS Industries from the ground up. It wasn’t easy—early challenges included bootstrapping and managing tight cash flow—but every obstacle taught me how to be resourceful, focused, and resilient.
I’ve always believed that the best solutions come from consulting with customers. A great example is our Benjamin Moore program—designed to eliminate the hassle of painting edgebanding. We identified the need, developed the product, and helped customers save time while achieving a better result.
Today, RAMS Industries is Canada’s dedicated edgebanding distributor—helping woodworkers access the right matches, fast. We work only with top-tier vendors who share our values of quality and reliability. Our logo’s three rings represent the bond between RAMS, our suppliers, and our customers—each one essential to long-term success.
