History

1982	Incorporation.
1983	Began production of frozen muffin batters and frozen unbaked croissants in 6,000-sq. ft. plant. Our customer base consisted of Food Serivce and Supermarkets with in-store bakeries in Canada and the USA.
1988	While at the original location we expanded our plant to 18,000 sq. ft. We purchased ovens which added another production line consisting of baked and frozen muffins (Thaw and Serve) for both the retail and institutional markets.
1994	We moved our production facilities to a new location in North York (Toronto). The free-standing building which was purchased by Tradition Fine Foods Ltd. consisted of 44,000 sq. ft. The purchase of this larger facility enabled us to modernize and expand our production lines. Over a period of three years we installed 10 double rack ovens and 2 separate packaging lines; each line having its own 1,000 linear-foot. spiral freezer. We also installed a silo system for flour and sugar, and expanded our bulk storage for oil, liquid sugars and other similar ingredients.
2001	Tradition Fine Foods Ltd. built a new 101,000-sq. ft. facility located on 9 acres of land in the southeast part of Toronto. We are especially proud of our new 20,000 sq. ft. x 28 ft. high freezer, which is operated by a centralized ammonia refrigeration system. We have expanded our production capability by installing a Tunnel Oven, 120 feet long by 14 feet wide, to be used for baking our muffins, cakes and future products. We have also added 2 completely new automated cookie lines capable of producing 38,000 baked cookies per hour or 60,000 unbaked portioned cookies per hour respectively.
2006	Tradition Fine Foods Ltd. celebrates its 25^th year in operation.
Going Forward	Tradition Fine Foods Ltd. operates 24 hours a day, 5 days a week with 100+ employees. Our Canadian customer base now spans from the East Coast to the West Coast. Within the United States, we continue to service the Eastern half while gradually expanding into the Western half. Over time we have progressed from supplying only frozen, unbaked products to supplying fully baked and frozen goods. We still continue to supply our original products; unbaked muffins, cookies and croissants, while also developing and offering convenient, value-added products for immediate sale and consumption.
