History

Our story

Vista Railing Systems Inc. began in 1974 as a wood remanufacturing and woodturning plant where the company built its reputation as the highest-quality woodturning and remanufacturing plant in the industry. As the market taste changed and evolved throughout the years, so did the product line and the manufacturing capability.

In 2006, we were the first to introduce a complete all-in-one deck railing kit – which combined premium wood rails with powder-coated metal balusters – maintaining our innovative, industry-leading position. In 2011, in response to changing market preferences, Vista Railing Systems Inc. acquired a high-quality aluminum railing line and shortly thereafter, an aluminum manufacturing operation.

In the present day, VISTA has completely transformed into one of the most innovative, and fastest-growing aluminum railing manufacturers in the industry. With an expansive depth and breadth of experience and capabilities, VISTA has both a commercial division to serve the unique needs of the design-built commercial multifamily market, and a residential division to service all facets of the residential railing market.

Our distribution and dealer network spans across North America servicing markets coast to coast in Canada and the United States on all product lines. Our railings create amazing spaces that inspire people to connect through design-focused thinking that embraces simplicity. We produce stylish railings to be enjoyed for every home.

We design, engineer, test, and manufacture high-quality railings for both residential and commercial markets in aluminum, glass, cable, and mixed materials. Our roots run deep. With over four decades as an industry leader, Vista Railing Systems Inc. is more than just our products – we are the sum of our people.

James is wonderful! He continuously supports us and our Customers by ensuring that we receive our stock promptly and efficiently. He helps in rectifying issues that arise and at times he is known to personally drop off product either to our store or job sites to make sure we over deliver to our Customers! We appreciate you James and your team for all of your support!!

Vista has been a dream to work with, the program makes life so much easier and efficient to do quotes. Dwayne, Jim and the rest of the team I have dealt with are always willing to answer questions and go the extra mile to help fix any issues or getting pieces and parts to us promptly.

We love working with the Vista Team! HF Smith Lumber in Cookstown, Ontario has been a proud stocking dealer since day one, carrying their four top colours. Vista’s quoting program is super easy to use and saves us a ton of time. The sales team is fantastic – always friendly, quick to help, and great to work with! We also love seeing the new products they continue to add. It’s exciting to expand our offerings and keep things fresh for our customers! Keep up the great work

I purchase many different types of items in the building industry and have been at all levels from putting away lumber, customer service management and purchasing at wholesale level. The Vista railing company by far has been the best company to deal with in my entire 41 years in the industry. It’s just unbelievable the support and quality they produce from all levels — from manufacturing, pulling the product, design team and of course the sales support. Railing is a very difficult item for some yards to sell due to the complexity, but Vista makes it real easy with the least complicated quoting system, the Vista planner.
Thank you Team Vista for all you do for me and the industry!!
