About
The Colabor Market was created in 2020 to serve customers of Colabor Food Distributor, a division of the Colabor Group. It’s the perfect opportunity to plan and save on thousands of products for the long-awaited summer season! After two editions in virtual mode, the Colabor Market is back in person and moving to two regions to better reach its customers: Montreal and Quebec City!
The Colabor Market has been renewed and modernized, offering a face-to-face event and a transactional virtual platform. In addition to discovering several thousand products on sale, it is an opportunity for businesses to discover offers from hundreds of manufacturers. The event connects manufacturers, brokers and HRI businesses to promote lasting collaborations between various players in the food sector.
This is an event you won’t want to miss!
