Hi! I am Justin Kooiman, an individual with a passion for woodworking and a love for design. My background in mechanical engineering gives me the knowledge to design outside of the box. Paired with my experience in the display case industry, I am always up for a challenge.
Good designs and great relationships come from collaboration. I’m excited to start a visual dialogue, learn about you, and make something beautiful together.
Obsidian Manufacturing is working towards being the leader in glass-to-glass display cases manufactured in Canada. Offering unique designs to industries across the nation.

Traditionally, “frameless” display cases are problematic to manufacture and labor intensive because of their design. Therefore there are few manufactures specializing in this tedious craft.

Justin decided to venture out on his own and create Obsidian Mfg. Canada’s premier custom glass display case and showcase manufacturer.
