Tariffs
August 27, 2026
As you may be aware, the Canadian government has recently imposed retaliatory tariffs on a range of products imported from the United States, including food, foodservice equipment, and related items. Unfortunately, these tariffs will result in price increases on affected US-sourced products effective Sept 8th.
To help mitigate the impact, we're pleased to offer alternative product options. Our Quest brand features equipment and custom fabrication manufactured in Canada, while our SignatureWares private label is sourced outside the US and is therefore not subject to these tariffs. We also maintain strong partnerships with Canadian-based suppliers and continue to expand our offering of Canadian-made products.
Our sales professionals can provide a detailed list of affected products and recommend suitable alternatives. We maintain over $35 million in inventory across our Canadian distribution centers to help ensure product availability and minimize supply disruptions.
Rest assured, any tariff-related price adjustments will be removed once the tariffs are lifted.
If you have any questions or need help selecting the best products for your operation, please don't hesitate to contact your sales representative. We appreciate your continued trust and partnership.
