Taqwa is a federally regulated specialty halal multi-species red meats processor based in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, Canada. Uniquely, it is the only federal halal meat processing facility in the Province serving a growing specialty meats market with good prospects for growth. Responding to a rapidly changing business and regulatory environment and global economic shifts, a five-year dual strategy was adopted in 2006: one aimed at organic growth through vertical integration and the other focused on diversification. Integrating its core base in red meats production buttressed by an established network of livestock producers and suppliers, the company began to diversify its operations into value-added production and, through strategic alliances with primary producers in the poultry industry, is now poised to take advantage of the growth opportunities in the food processing industry. Building on its twin supply bases in red meats and poultry, complemented by key relationships with value chain partners with a solid track record in food processing and distribution, the company supplies a niche range of halal foods and products across Western Canada, from small retail specialty stores, and public and private institutions to large food processors and retail chains.
