ASSOCIATE MEMBER PROFILE DPEC Food Solutions Inc. April Jackman, Events, Marketing & Communications Manager, MPO

It was a pleasure to speak with Daniel Almeida, the owner and founder of DPEC Food Solutions Inc. Many of our MPO members will recognize Daniel and his team as they have been a prominent supplier of packaging and processing equipment to the industry since 2012. Daniel began his career in the food processing industry working in sales in his home country of Portugal. Then, 14 years ago he uprooted his life and brought his experience to Canada, ultimately deciding to call Mississauga his new home. Daniel decided to establish himself in the Canadian food processing industry with what he knew best, sales. And once he’d earned a few years under his belt, Daniel decided to start his own company specializing in sales and service for food processing equipment. DPEC started from humble beginnings, with only Daniel and his brother working out of Daniel’s garage. Now after 8 years and a little bit of elbow grease, DPEC is experiencing tremendous growth, with a team of 6 sales and service technicians soon to be operating out of a new

12,000 square foot facility next month.

While the majority of DPEC’s customers are located in Ontario and Quebec, they serve customers all across Canada, 90% of which are specific to the meat sector. Quality is key to DPEC’s success. In fact, Daniel has built their entire reputation on delivering the highest quality equipment and service possible, and for developing strong relationships with customers. With a drive to improve, Daniel spends a great deal of time sourcing high quality, reliable European-made equipment for his customers,

and his team is continuously developing and improving their skill set on the service side.

According to Daniel, things haven’t slowed down during the pandemic. His customers have been thriving! And though there have been a few new challenges arise along the way, he sees a bright future for the meat sector and is excited for what 2021 has to offer. Over the next few months, DPEC will be rolling out packaging solutions to customers, and in 2021 they will be bringing in a new line of reliable European-made equipment to the Canadian market.

As one of our newest members at MPO, Daniel has already experienced great value in his membership and is gaining new customers every year through his exposure in MPO

communications and at events. “The Canadian market can be tough, and the team at MPO helps to bridge that gap and bring the industry together,” said Daniel. “You guys are fantastic.”
