Piller’s roots go back to 1957 when a young master butcher, Wilhem Huber opened a small shop in Waterloo, Ontario. He used family recipes and traditions to craft great tasting deli meats inspired by the family’s European heritage. His brothers Edward and Heinrich joined the company two years later and the three founded Piller’s Sausages and Delicatessens Limited.

Piller’s was acquired by Premium Brands Holdings Corporation in 2011 and has since become known as Piller’s Fine Foods. Despite the acquisition, descendants of the three Huber brothers still work at the company today and tradition and family values remain at the heart of the business.
