GLOWCZEWSKI Family
Tradition Fine Foods Ltd. (“Tradition”) was founded in 1982 by a husband-and-wife team of Chemical Engineers (Peter & Danuta) with a passion and family history in the bakery industry. Starting in a 6,000 ft2 facility, Tradition began manufacturing a range of frozen muffin batters knows as SCOOP&BAKE™ for Canadian foodservice providers and in-store bakeries of supermarket chains. As the business grew, Tradition moved to a 44,000 ft2 facility in 1994 and began selling an expanded portfolio of bakery products into the US, including raw frozen Croissants and frozen baked Muffins for the “thaw and serve” market. In 2003, Tradition expanded again by moving into a new 105,000ft2 facility in Toronto, Canada, while automating our production capabilities. Today, the company is run by the 2nd generation brother/sister owners (Thomas & Catherine) that share the family passion for bakery products with a continued mandate to grow the business and invest in new technologies. As an experienced exporter, with a creative and nimble R&D team, the company is positioned for continued growth through differentiated product and manufacturing capabilities.
