Tariffs

March 17, 2025

As you may be aware, the Canadian government has recently imposed retaliatory tariffs on various products, including food, food service equipment, and related items imported from the United States. Unfortunately, these tariffs will result in price increases on affected U.S.-sourced products. 

To help mitigate the impact of these changes, we are pleased to offer alternative product options. Our Quest brand features equipment and custom fabrication manufactured in Canada, while our SignatureWares private label brand is sourced outside of the U.S. and is therefore not subject to tariffs. Additionally, we maintain strong partnerships with Canadian-based suppliers, and we 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 ensure product availability and minimize supply disruptions. Additionally, we have U.S.-sourced products purchased before the tariff stook effect, meaning pricing on many items will remain unchanged until the current stock is depleted. 

Rest assured that any price adjustments related to tariffs will be removed once tariffs are lifted. 

If you have any questions or need assistance selecting the best products for your operation, please do not hesitate to contact your sales representative. 

We appreciate your continued trust and partnership.
