Canada is a large country in terms of land mass, however dense in population with a diversified community that is for the most part divided into at least four major areas, referred to as Western Canada, Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada. National retailers typically operate regional merchandising offices tailored to the unique demographics and cultural preferences of their consumers.
Sora Foods' sales network is strategically positioned across the country to cater to both head offices and regional branches throughout Canada. Our sales agents forge strong relationships with retailers in their designated regions, focusing on driving higher sales volumes for a select group of manufacturers. We excel in engaging with private label procurement departments, frozen food and boxed meat buyers, and regional meat buyers/merchandising departments.
For global manufacturers seeking to enter the Canadian market with products delivered by truck or boat, Sora Foods provides a specialized logistical framework tailored to efficiently manage cross-border transportation and distribution complexities. We begin by assisting your team with arranging shipping to one of the ports along either the Atlantic or Pacific. Upon collection at the port, we work with our partners to get loads cleared for export into Canada, maximizing efficiency while minimizing border delays to safeguard the quality of your goods.
We are partnered with warehouses strategically located in Montreal, Quebec, Toronto, Ontario, and Calgary, Alberta. These facilities ensure secure storage and efficient distribution of your products across Canada.
