Lorenz Food Distributors

General information

It all began in Lorenzo’s parents’ garage back in 1986, distributing deli meats with a family van throughout the GTA. Lorenzo had a vision to provide a wide variety of food products to all independent stores with friendly, courteous service drawing on his Italian family heritage.

Lorenzo’s brother Simon, joined the business shortly thereafter. It wasn’t long before they moved to a larger space with a poorly lit walk in cooler/freezer.

With customer trust and a solid reputation, the product portfolio slowly expanded. With Victor’s assistance (Lorenzo & Simon Father), they began offering a complimentary Deli consultation to setup Deli’s, Bakeries and C-stores. They created a niche in the marketplace by cutting deli pieces into halves to provide maximum freshness, reduce waste and increase customer cash flow.
