Sager Foods is a family-owned and operated food company based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Sager is the leading packager of vegetable oils in Canada and serves all of the major Canadian grocery chains.
The Company's principle products include a full range of vegetable oils including Canola, Soya, Corn, Olive, Sunflower, Peanut, Safflower and various blends including Canola & Olive oil.
Sager was established in 1983 by Santo Fata Sr. as a packager of vegetable oil products primarily for grocery chains and foodservice distributors. In the early 1980s, Canadian grocery chains began introducing private label products in their own stores to compete with the established national brands. Sager was among the first suppliers to this market segment which has and continues to grow at a strong rate. Many of our client relationships date back many years and we are very proud to have the privilege of serving Canada's leading grocery chains.
In addition to our private label business, Sager packs a number of products under national brands. These co-packing clients represent an important part of both our retail and foodservice businesses. In addition, since its inception, Sager has also developed its own brands including La Perla, Cantalia and Regina. La Perla, Cantalia and Regina products can be found throughout Canada. Recently, Sager has broadened its product offering to include organic oils and a wide assortment of sauces.
Sager currently operates two plants, both in the Montreal area. In our main plant, we package all types of vegetable oils in containers ranging in size from 375 ML bottles to 16L pails to 45 gallon drums. Our Akita plant produces some of our specialty oils such as our Stir-Fry oil and our Spicy and Aromatic oil products. In addition, all of our sauces are produced at our Akita plant.
