For Shah Trading Company, the key to our success is in the strength of our relationships. As one of the first companies importing foods into Canada over forty years ago, we are pioneers in the global trading community from a time when there were only a few players in the space and the landscape was unknown. After over 40 years in the business, Shah Trading Company has amassed a wealth and breadth of knowledge unparalleled in the industry. By working with an extensive network of farmers, growers, and producers both locally and abroad and building those relationships over four decades, we’ll always be able to provide consistent quality you can trust. This ensures our selections always support the farmers, the distributors, and most importantly, the families who will enjoy them together.

Our highly trained Quality Assurance team's number one priority is our customers.

Shah Trading Company currently retains more than 300,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space across Toronto, Montreal, and New Jersey. This allows us to manufacture, package, store, and ship our staples in-house; ensuring purity, consistency, and the highest quality and safety standards possible.

The Quality Assurance team at Shah Trading Company is committed to maintaining the freshest and best quality ingredients.
