For nearly five decades, S&F Food Importers has connected Canada’s leading retailers with exceptional international brands — sourced from four continents, delivered with integrity.
Based in Vaughan, Ontario with a second location in Montreal, Quebec, S&F is one of Canada’s most respected food import operations. Founded in 1976 by Sol and Freddy on a simple conviction — that Canadian consumers deserve access to the world’s finest specialty foods — the company has spent nearly five decades connecting the country’s leading retailers with exceptional international brands.
From our Vaughan warehouse to the shelves of Canada’s leading chains, every product we represent carries the weight of that original promise: quality that speaks for itself.
“We never just sell products — we build partnerships that last.”
Swiss chocolate, Polish pickles, Maltese crackers, German tea — a glimpse of what moves through our Vaughan warehouse every week.
Light, crisp, and baked to snap — the S&F 200 g classic that carries cheese, preserves, or a bowl of soup. Kosher certified, bilingual pack, on shelves coast to coast.
Direct-to-retail distribution reaching major chains and independents across Canada through our established logistics network.
We act as your Canadian sales team — managing retailer relationships, buyer meetings, category reviews, and shelf placement negotiations.
Full CFIA and AAFC compliance management, bilingual labelling, nutrition panel adaptation, and import documentation handled end-to-end.
In-store execution, trade programming, promotional planning, and consumer marketing programs that build lasting brand equity in Canada.
From our own S&F private label to the world’s most trusted specialty food producers — all under one Canadian roof.
Direct relationships with specialty food producers across Europe, the Middle East, and North America — every product traceable from orchard, dairy, or factory floor to Vaughan.
Loblaws, Metro, Sobeys, Walmart, Farm Boy, Food Basics, FreshCo — and 3,000+ independents coast to coast.
From our 120,000 sq ft headquarters in Vaughan and our Aliments S&F division in Montreal, we ship direct to every major Canadian retailer. Same-week pickups. Seasonal allocations planned six months out.
The kind of operational reliability that keeps gingerbread cookies on shelves by November 1st.
