A Few Words About Us

Teja Food Group has experienced remarkable growth since its inception, marked by strategic expansions and innovative acquisitions. Initially founded in 1992 to supply fish and products to Joey’s Only Seafood Restaurants, Teja quickly recognized opportunities for diversification and expansion. Over time, it evolved into a multifaceted entity with a diverse portfolio of brands catering to various segments of the food industry.

It all began with a humble commissary kitchen, initially tasked with crafting batches of tartar sauce and coleslaw dressing for a handful of restaurants under its umbrella. However, amidst the fluctuating dynamics of the fish markets, Joe recognized a crucial need to secure a stable supply of proprietary items for his own establishments. Thus, TEJA Foods was born, primarily serving as a supplier to its partner, Joey’s Seafood Restaurants. This remained the cornerstone of TEJA’s operations until the arrival of Tom Grande as President, whose strategic vision expanded the company’s horizons beyond its initial confines. Over the past decade, TEJA Foods has experienced remarkable growth, driven both by organic expansion—through the addition of new products and the cultivation of customer relationships founded on trust and impeccable service—and through strategic acquisitions of like-minded companies. This journey reflects TEJA’s unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation in the food industry.
