CEO Message

“ We will do our best to supply high-quality Korean food and agricultural products to Canada ahead of others”

The beginning of T-Brothers dates back to 1994, when Korean-style kimchi was first made and supplied directly in the western region of Canada, before proper Korean food was available on Canadian soil.

Since our company's inception, we have been driven by a sense of mission to "supply authentic Korean food," and for nearly 30 years, we have tirelessly pursued this goal. Today, we have grown to become a leading Canadian company specializing in the importation of a wide variety of Korean brands and top-quality agricultural products from all over Korea.

We also acknowledge that the remarkable growth we have achieved was made possible with the help of various partner companies across Canada. In the fiercely competitive business environment, trust and mutual reliance among partners played a crucial role in overcoming obstacles. We applaud our partner companies for their efforts in enabling Korean food to penetrate the Canadian market as it does today.

As we stand at a turning point for the next 30 years and look toward a new future, T-Brothers believes in the enduring value of mutual prosperity that we have upheld for the past three decades. Today, just like any other day, T-Brothers will continue to strive to be the top company that preserves the value of mutual prosperity alongside Korea's leading brands, excellent agricultural products, and Canadian local partners.
