About Us

Our Mission

Rebalance Your Creativity With Your Business Success

Creativity must be balanced with a heartfelt interest in the success of our customers’ business.

We believe your creativity in food can exist in the same space as a profitable, sustainable business. We want to be a part of your accomplishments.

Calgary-Based

We are a proudly Canadian meat production and distribution company based in Calgary, AB.

Honesty and Fairness

We are passionate about providing the best quality, service, and value at an honest and fair price.

Meat A Better Way

We are pleased to offer a better way to bring meat to market at affordable pricing with the best value.

The Principles we stand by

Think Local, Act Global

Younger consumers want to know where their food comes from, but they also want a mix of new experiences in food from global markets, alongside connections to local producers. AQM understands this balance well and makes it easier to cover all the bases by continuously developing a more extensive network of local farmers and producers along with international best-in-class selections. We research, borrow, and interpret as you do in the kitchen.

Honesty & Fairness First

The meat business is very complex. Honesty and fairness should be a big part of buying and selling meat. We know that transparency will bring trust, so we purposefully show how meat gets to the market and how AQM works within it to ensure our mutually beneficial pricing.

Bring a Little Tenderness

Tenderness is what you value most of all when serving meat to your customers. We look for the grades of meat that make sense for the cuts and menu applications. With beef, we use aging to bring out the very best eating qualities like tenderness.

Everything We Do Is Customized

Our business is bringing you the very best value in meat that is available. Our process includes helping you purchase only what you truly need. We highlight the best options and best values. Only then do we work with you on building your order, selecting meats, cutting and delivering, at the speed of business.

Our Food Safety Promise

Customers and consumers have high expectations when it comes to the safety of food. It only makes sense that we surpass those and exceed our own targets. We know how much you rely on suppliers that take food safety seriously, so it is top of mind with whom we do business and how we operate our business every day.

Buy Smarter With a Lot Less Stress

Purchase like you belong to a large food chain by locking in the best pricing far ahead of time. With our integrated supply chain, we use price risk management strategies to navigate forward purchasing and financial hedging safely. Now you can purchase outside of seasonal trending for the most competitive pricing and achieve the price security only found by Canada’s largest food purchasers.
