A Legacy of Pure, Natural Foods

Our Story

In 2006, brothers Sujay and Ajay continued the Shah Family tradition and launched their own entrepreneurial initiative, Shashi Foods, now Scale Foods.

Joined later by their youngest brother, Rajay, they applied the knowledge they’d collected growing up in the family business to build a natural foods powerhouse dedicated to launching, acquiring, and nurturing a portfolio of mainly food sector organizations.

Placing their faith in applied technology and innovation, they set about doing things in ways the industry had never seen before. It helped that the trio had the blessing of a supportive father, a wealth of resources, and valuable global connections to drive the new enterprise forward.

What began as an entrepreneurial dream twenty years ago is now one of North America's finest producers.

Our Vision

To be the best natural foods company today and for generations to come.

Our Mission

We're partners for good. We create lasting relationships by sourcing the finest ingredients, supplying the best products, and building the strongest team with a relentless commitment to quality, innovation, and growth.

Our Roots

Our father, Shashi Shah, began his entrepreneurial journey in Kenya in 1964 at just 18 years old. After a decade of hard work, he left his homeland for Canada with little more than ambition and a dream for something greater.
 
He started small – importing Indian foods and selling them from the back of the family van. One handshake at a time, he and his brothers built a loyal customer base and laid the groundwork for what would become his life's work. That humble beginning grew into Shah Trading, a respected leader in ethnic food trading.
 
But more than a business, he built a legacy. One that taught us the value of hard work, perseverance, and integrity. As we build Scale Foods, his spirit remains at the core of everything we do.
