We know food is a much more than just what we eat and drink - it is a fundamental part of our identity. We’re honoured to play a role in an industry that can bring a piece of our culture to North America.

We import, produce, and wholesale a wide variety of Asian products across Canada. T-Brothers handles everything from grains, noodles, produce, home appliances, frozen foods, and so much more.

Being based in Vancouver, we have the exclusive opportunity to be at the gateway of Asian food products in Canada. Operating here for almost 30 years, we know that Canada provides a unique prospect for cultural diversity and it makes us proud to be Canadian.

Vancouver accounts for over 50% of all overseas container imports in Canada, making it our country’s busiest and most accessible port city. We’re no strangers to import and are thrilled to be able to bring a whole new world of products to Canada.

As leaders in the Asian food import business, we know our actions reflect those around us. As such, the happiness of our customers is our top priority and we hope yours is too.
