The Morton Heritage
Our Heritage
We are rooted in the heartland of Southwestern Ontario.
Established by Gordon Morton in 1919, we are a Canadian family business helping other Canadian family businesses grow. We have never forgotten our origins, and have flourished for over a century based on the power of positive relationships. This tradition of excellence is something we stand by and share with our customers.
Morton is proud to support Ontario and Canadian farmers, both large and small. Our partners share our passion for doing things the right way and understand the importance of supporting local business. This approach allows us to enhance the economic, environmental, and social practices of food purchasing and consumption, especially of Ontario food products.
Gordon Morton’s Guiding Principle
Gordon Morton started his family business over 100 years ago, with one guiding principle – always deliver on what you promise. Gordon’s handshake was his bond. To this day, we still live by our promises and go above and beyond to ensure that each customer receives reliable service with a personal touch.
People are the backbone of our business.
They are the heart and soul of Morton Food Service as well as our frontline troops, always ready for action. They’re driven by a passion for food and helping people that connects our products with you, the independent business we serve. Approximately 65% of our team are former chefs, restaurant owners, managers and marketers who know the restaurant and food service industry inside out.
A Message From Our President
I’m proud to lead a team of dedicated, experienced individuals that work hard and believe in the independent restaurant business. Morton strives to exceed expectations while providing expert recommendations to help your restaurant grow and thrive. Great products are a must, but service is the key to our success. We don’t just understand small business, we live it.
