A leading 4PL provider is setting new standards in logistics with intelligent distribution and advanced cold chain systems. In winemaking, producers are blending precision agriculture with scalable craft to elevate quality and consistency. At the kitchen level, a food service equipment pioneer is enabling smarter, more efficient operations through connected technologies. While each excels in its domain, their combined impact is transforming the entire value chain into a more integrated, tech-driven ecosystem.The real shift is in how these sectors are now working in sync. Logistics providers use AI and real-time tracking to ensure optimal delivery conditions for sensitive goods. Wine producers apply tools like satellite imaging, fermentation sensors and automated climate controls to fine-tune both output and quality. These products then enter kitchens equipped with intelligent systems that adapt to supply flows, ingredient conditions and energy demands. What was once a fragmented supply chain is now a responsive, data-powered network, more agile and attuned to modern consumer expectations.This edition of Food Business Review Canada spotlights the leaders and solutions driving a unified, tech-enabled food ecosystem built for speed, quality and adaptability. It features insights from Keefer Gibson, sourcing manager of the supply chain at Bimbo Canada, who emphasizes the importance of finding creative solutions to manage rising cold storage and distribution challenges while keeping costs stable for consumers. Trisha McRoberts, Corporate Vice President / Chief Procurement Officer, at Golden State Foods, highlights how strong partnerships and strategic sourcing are essential to maintaining a resilient, reliable supply chain that meets customer needs.Along with insights from industry experts, the magazine features Groupe Transit, a leading 4PL provider that streamlines international food exports by integrating compliance, customs, warehousing and transportation across North America and Europe.We hope this edition, featuring Food 4PL Company of the Year in Canada 2025, Wine Producer 2025 and Food Service Equipment 2025, offers a compelling look at how advancements and collaboration are shaping a smarter, more connected food and beverage value chain.Let us know your thoughts!
