Sealand Quality Foods began in 1986 when three ambitious associates - Brian Parker, Sal Occhipinti, and Henry Asmann - came together with a shared belief: Canadians deserve high-quality, gourmet food delivered right to their doorstep. 
 
As one of the original food delivery companies in the country, they opened their first office in Mississauga, Ontario. Since then, Sealand Quality Foods has become a trusted name in homes across Canada, known for delivering premium meat and seafood directly to your door. Our commitment to excellence mirrors the dedication of local butcher shops that have served communities for generations.

Our journey is also a story of passion and dedication. Joe, our leader and the driving force behind Sealand’s success, joined the company in 1987 as a Culinary Consultant. He quickly rose through the ranks, playing a pivotal role in expanding our reach across Canada, the United States, and into Europe. After a brief hiatus, during which he built and sold his own business, Joe returned to Sealand in 2010 with a renewed vision. His goal was to reignite and modernize the original Sealand while staying true to the core values that have always defined us.

Today, Joe’s passion and dedication to this business and its people remain strong. He is deeply committed to creating opportunities for our Culinary Consultants and employees, ensuring that as Sealand grows, so do the people who are part of our family. His decisions are guided by a deep care for our team and a genuine commitment to our customers.

At Sealand, we believe in offering the best of both worlds. While we’ve grown to serve customers coast to coast, we’ve never lost sight of our local roots. We’re big enough to bring the finest foods to doorsteps across the country, but small enough to know the importance of personalized service and community connections. We’ve been serving generations of Canadians, and we’re honoured to continue that tradition today.

Sealand Quality Foods is more than just a business; it’s a legacy of quality, service, and trust that we’re proud to uphold. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or are just discovering us now, we’re here to continue serving you with the same dedication that has made us a household name since 1986.
