Olympic Wholesale Co. Ltd. is a distributor
of food ingredients and supplies, serving Canada
and the United States.
This family based company was originally founded in 1936 as a manufacturer of
preserves, jams and pie fillings named Pure Foods Preserving Company. In 1972,
the manufacturing aspect of the company was eliminated and wholesale
distribution of bakery and food service was increased to accommodate this
growing sector. With a growing public demand for quality bakery supplies, Olympic
Wholesale Co. Ltd. opened a retail outlet store one of the first bulk food
retailers at their Parliament
Street location in 1975 to 1985. This retail store
was closed when the company moved and focused solely on the Wholesale
distribution sector. Gaining knowledge over the years of the retail market,
Olympic expanded its lines into retail food products serving the small to
medium size retailers in Ontario primarily and
then growing into the USA.
The USA
growth now covers all states.
In February 2008, we moved
into our new warehouse to meet the demands of our increased client base and
products lines. The new facility was also built to meet the new demands of
HACCP and C-PAT, we believe our strength is the ability to adapt to the ever
changing market trends and we take pride in tailoring our inventories to meet
our customer’s specific requirements.
We
currently distribute over 3000 listed products including our house brand
product lines branded as: Olympic, Tasty, Bakers and Pure Foods. Our product
line is manufactured through various co-packing partnerships.
Our present client base
consists of scratch bakeries, in store bakeries, deli bakeries, industrial
bakeries and retail grocery chains.
Among our customers you’ll find hundreds of independent proprietorships
and several small and large chain operations.
