Athena Industries owner Sean Temmerman has been building stunning custom cabinets and furniture in Calgary for nearly 30 years.

Drawn to the artistry and possibilities of woodworking, Sean, who grew up in Calgary, started his cabinetmaker apprenticeship in 1988. He began his career in cabinet making at a high-end commercial furniture manufacturer that catered to international clients. There, Sean had the good fortune to be trained by some of the best German, Swiss, English and Canadian cabinetmakers in Calgary, possibly Canada.

In 2001, Sean opened Athena Industries so he could give homeowners that same level of high quality custom woodworking. He wanted people to be able to outfit their homes with built-in wall units sized to display a treasured vase, tables with enough room for the whole family, and custom cabinets tailored to make drawers and cupboards as functional and beautiful as possible.

Sean was amazing to work with, he did a built in cabinet in our bonus room as well as new cabinets in our master bathroom. He listened to what we wanted and then made suggestions. In the end we are thrilled with his work. We had a lot of trades in our home with the reno’s we were doing and Sean’s company was always clean and very respectful of our home. Love the work he did and will have him back for sure.

Today, along with a team of highly skilled cabinetmakers, the most advanced tools and a state-of-the-art spray facility, Athena designs, builds and finishes a full range of pieces for every room in your home. Clients love the striking attention to detail, artistry and lifespan of our craftsmanship as well as the way we work.

In addition to our expertise, at Athena, we take pride in bringing professionalism to every home, accommodating other trades workers and building lifelong relationships with clients.

Athena Industries is based in Calgary, and we work on kitchen renovation projects and individual pieces in homes throughout the city, but our reputation for quality and craftsmanship has brought us to projects across Alberta and BC.
