It operates two segments: Specialty Foods (manufacturing) and Premium Food Distribution, generating trailing-twelve-month revenue of roughly CAD 5.7-6B with 2026 sales guidance of $9.25-9.55B. The company is a roll-up of 80+ regional brands across processed meats, deli products, meat snacks, pre-packaged sandwiches/wraps, bakery, and seafood, built through an aggressive acquisition strategy (SK Food Group, Oberto, C&C Packing, Clearwater Seafoods, Stampede Culinary Partners). It estimates ~50% share of the Canadian packaged-sandwich market and 5-10% of the U.S. market, and owns Clearwater Seafoods, North America's largest shellfish producer.

The company is mid-way through a multi-year, >$1B capital investment cycle in new production capacity, with named projects in Tennessee, the Greater Toronto Area, Ferndale (WA), and San Leandro (CA).
