About Awnex

Winning metal

The Awnex vision

John Dicks founded Awnex, because awnings made from fabric weren’t built to last. After a stint in the fabric awning business, John knew his customers needed more durable awnings, canopies, and other architectural brand elements. In 2003, he founded Awnex to manufacture metal canopies, awnings, and architectural elements engineered to last and to look good, location after location.
