About us

In March of 1998, TAS Refrigerated Distribution was founded with a simple philosophy: that prioritizing customer service and flexibility leads to mutual success in business. Over the years, this approach has allowed us to build mutual trust with our customers, a great reputation, and thrive as a company. Integrity, Transparency, and Responsibility are at the core of our success, guiding how we treat Customers, Suppliers, Employees, and all stakeholders.

Our customers benefit from premium quality service and a personal touch. In an evolving and increasingly complex industry, we offer consistency and reliability, never taking for granted the trust placed in us.

Our Commitment

Health & Safety

We take our role in the health and safety of our employees very seriously. To this end, all of our facilities meet the required provincial norms set out by the various provincial Health and Safety Boards. We believe Health and Safety to be a collaborative endeavour, which is why we actively promote dialog between our employees and management team. This ensures that our programs are conducive to a safe, efficient working environment.

Supporting Local Communities with Cold Storage Resources

At TAS, we are committed to making a difference in our communities. To this end, we support local food banks and other charities. Often, food banks receive generous donations but lack the necessary storage space. TAS steps in and provides storage space to these great organizations to ensure their donations are preserved.
