About Us

Design For Industry was founded in 1960 as an industrial trade show exhibit company. During these past 45+ years as the market and marketing needs of our customers have shifted and changed, we have evolved into new vertical markets with innovative products and services.

We Design with the Customer in Mind

While our foothold in the exhibit business remains, our overall mission is to provide creative, three-dimensional marketing solutions that will build customers’ brands and businesses. We have worked on many different types of projects for global and regional companies – from the design and execution of large showrooms to nationwide retail installations.

DFI is also known for its development and coordination of Corporate Marketing Events and special seasonal mall programs.

A Women/Minority-Owned Enterprise

Today, DFI is a certified Minority/Woman Owned Business (MWBE) located in a 30,000 sq. ft. facility adjacent to the Buffalo-Niagara International Airport.

The company is owned by Linda Scarafia-Davis, who joined the company in the early 1980s and continues to be a highly-involved, hands-on leader.
