To sustainably grow while making a meaningful difference in the lives of our employees and the success of our customers.
Our History
The cultures of the Mediterranean and Middle East are renowned for their hospitality and sharing, and food is central to this theme. Family and friends gather around a rich spread of delicious dishes brought together by pita – a versatile, soft flat bread that serves as a utensil to dip, or a wrap to stuff, or a surface to hold the topping of your choice. No wonder this bread has been a staple for over 4,000 years, bringing nourishment and fulfilment to every meal.
Today, more than forty years later, Handi Foods has transformed and inspired this traditional bread, into a host of quality, wholesome, baked snacks available in a variety of forms, textures and tastes. The love for the products we make and our commitment to the people who make them, remains as infectious today as it was when we were founded.
Be it crackers, chips, crisps or puffs, Handi Foods is well-positioned to provide the finest quality products under your brand anywhere in North America.
