About Us - Our Mission Statement
"We provide the North American Wine & Brewing industries with high quality equipment & supplies coupled with outstanding service to our customers before, during and after every sale."
Why Cellar Tek?
At Cellar-Tek we strive to be the best support system for the commercial wineries and breweries of Canada because we love consuming great wines and beers and want to help everyone in the industry make the best products they can.
Cellar-tek was founded in 2004 by Randy Jones when he answered a cry from Canada's wineries to create a commercial winery supply business that guarantees its service before, during and after every sale, be it large or small. Operating under that model, Cellar-tek has grown to encompass a full line of quality built commercial wine-making equipment and supplies. If it's quality, dependable and sturdy equipment and supplies with impeccable service you're after, then Cellar-Tek's got what you need.
Technical Support
At Cellar-Tek we've also got a team of technical support people behind the scenes in both BC and Ontario with decades of experience in packaging equipment, mechanical/electrical repair & stainless steel fabrication to assist our customers when challenges arise that need specialized expertise.
I guess you can say we have almost everything you need for commercial wine production except the grapes. If we don't have it, we'll do our best to get it, fast!
