Leandro Barbosa, LeadFoods
Our relationship with Merkato Canada was established in May/2021, when we had little presence in the province of Quebec. Now we have more consistent sales, and a better way to service the stores selling our products in the Greater Montreal Area and Quebec City.
Working with Patricia and her team has been a great experience, and we were lucky to have had her support at the SIAL 2022, in Montreal, when we launched our new products. Thank You, Patrícia!
Isabel, Notre Pizza
Integrating Merkato's Brazilian products into our restaurant's menu has been a true culinary revelation. Our diners love the unique flavors that these authentic ingredients bring to our dishes. The team at Merkato has been fantastic to work with, providing us with valuable culinary insights and ensuring a seamless supply chain.
