Our History

A Journey Through Decades of Excellence

Building Traditions Since 1967​

Founded in 1967 by Werner Hufsky, Husky Foods began as an importer and distributor of European confectionery products to the Canadian European ethnic market. In the early 1990s, Werner’s sons, Gordon and John, took the helm of the company and initiated an aggressive brand acquisition and business development campaign. Their efforts have built what is now considered one of the most prestigious portfolios of imported food brands in Canada. The company boasts an exceptional history of providing its partners with unparalleled market penetration and sustained business growth.
Over half a century later, Husky Food Importers continues to thrive, adhering steadfastly to the core principles established at its inception.
