Serving the Hospitality Industry Coast to Coast

In 1972 a small select group of independent, full line foodservice equipment distributors in Canada met to explore the feasibility of establishing a working relationship amongst the various firms.

At their first meeting they discussed mutual problems of distributing the equipment and supplies to Canada's foodservice industry. They discovered that through an open exchange of experiences and ideas each firm benefited and gained information that could be used to better serve their customers.
It was at this meeting that the groundwork was set for R.E.D. Restaurant Equipment Distributors of Canada Limited. Since those meetings a strong organization of Canadian distributors has evolved with 50 participating locations.

Today the group meets semi-annually in rotating hotel locations across Canada, thus supporting the foodservice and hospitality industry that we service. At these meetings new products, ideas and experiences are exchanged both amongst the distributors and with the leading North American manufacturers. Between meetings, a centralized Toronto office keeps members informed of new technologies and innovations with instant communication techniques.
