How did we get here?
Build, install, operate, fix, design, sell — I have worn a lot of hats in my career. I have seen firsthand the different struggles that departments face along the way.
The founder
Making the connection
The engineer doesn’t consider the installation; the installer doesn’t consider the customer; and now, the customer can’t afford to consider the consumer. EFS is here to make the connection.
With over 20 years of experience in the construction and food manufacturing industry — the last decade of it focused on automated solutions for food producers, built on a foundation of electrical systems work — I’m passionate about helping Canadian food makers feed our people efficiently and cost-effectively.
The mission
Everything can be a system.
We want to enable Canadian entrepreneurs to reach their maximum potential, on their terms.
The gap we close
Two languages, rarely spoken together
Most food and beverage manufacturers don’t fail because the product isn’t good enough — they either can’t afford to start, or don’t know where to. Equipment vendors sell equipment, not your product. General consultants look at specs, not ingredients. By the time a growing brand realizes they needed to consider both from the start, they are already behind.
That’s the gap Efficient Food Solutions exists to close.
How we engage
Leaving you more capable than we found you
We work with small and mid-sized food and beverage manufacturers at every stage of the journey from idea to industrialization — whether that means diagnosing why a line is underperforming, helping a recipe survive the jump from bench to batch, designing a production line from scratch, or stepping in after an automation project has gone sideways.
We don’t commit to equipment that puts our interests ahead of yours, and we don’t disappear after handoff — but we try to enable you to not need us to. Every engagement is built around one goal: leaving you more capable and more in control than we found you.
