Our brands brought it at CHFA NOW Toronto. Longtime partners and new faces showed up with new flavours and fresh packaging, and a few were showing in the East for the first time. Buyers stopped by our section and took notice. We can't wait to see where this weekend's conversations take our brands. Thank you to CHFA for bringing everyone out to the Blue Jays game on Friday night. Great way to kick off CHFA, and the Jays winning didn't hurt. And thank you to everyone for all the hard work that went into making this our best show yet. We're still buzzing and already planning for CHFA NOW West in spring 2027! Thank you Canadian Health Food Association for a great weekend!

Turns out the broker model was never built for the brand. So we built one that was.
About us
Getting a CPG brand into Canadian retail takes longer, costs more, and involves more moving parts than most founders expect. A broker is supposed to make that easier but most of them don't. BNQ is a flat-rate, 0% commission sales and client services partner for CPG brands selling into Canada. We work across grocery, natural, specialty, mass, drug, and independent channels. As your sales grow, more of that money stays in your business. Every cost, promo, and stock requirement is defined before you commit to anything. You get real-time access to your listing pipeline, CRM, and performance data through your own client portal. You always know what's happening before you have to ask. We’ll also tell you clearly if your brand isn't ready yet, before you spend anything finding out the hard way. Find out if your brand is ready.

The summer was hectic, but fun, and with it came new brand partnerships. We'll start with Mate Libre. They're a Montreal-based team behind organic sparkling yerba mate. Real South American leaves, light carbonation, and a lineup of flavours built for a cleaner kind of energy. No middleman between you and the people who make it, just direct access from day one. If you haven't tried this brand, you'll get your chance at CHFA NOW Toronto, Mate Libre will be joining the BNQ brand line up. Thank you to Francis Gervais and Edouard Dufour-Boiteau for making this partnership possible.

Your brand deserves more than getting lost in a big roster. We hear this from brands that join us: with their old partner, they were one of many logos on a list, chasing whatever number hit someone else's commission target. That's not how brands grow. Your sales partner should know your brand well enough to move it forward with intention. Not find it a spot on a list.
