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
Adding Merkato's Brazilian products to our menu has been a culinary adventure. Our customers absolutely love the unique flavors these authentic ingredients bring to our dishes. Working with the Merkato team has been a breeze – they've provided us with great culinary insights and kept our supply chain running smoothly. Thanks to our partnership, we've been able to give our customers a taste of Brazil right here in Canada that they won't forget.
