About GMSY CANADA Ltd

At GMSY CANADA Ltd, we believe that fire is more than just heat — it’s a connection. From backyard barbecues to restaurant kitchens, the right charcoal transforms every flame into a moment worth sharing. Since our founding, we’ve been committed to delivering exceptional charcoal products to those who appreciate quality, consistency, and authenticity in every burn.

Who We Are

Established in GTA, Ontario in 2010, GMSY CANADA Ltd began with a clear purpose: to bring premium, responsibly sourced charcoal to Canada’s growing community of grillers and culinary professionals. Over the years, we’ve grown beyond our Ontario roots, expanding operations to Ottawa, Dallas, Texas, and Edmonton, Alberta — allowing us to better serve clients across North America.

As a Canadian-owned company, our focus is on importing and distributing restaurant-grade lump charcoal and long-burning briquettes that meet the highest standards. We work closely with food service providers, retailers, and individuals who share our passion for real fire and real flavor.

Our Charcoal

What sets our charcoal apart is not just its performance — it’s where and how it’s made. Our products are crafted from 100% Quebracho Blanco, a dense, high-carbon hardwood native to South America. Harvested exclusively from licensed, designated forests, our Quebracho is sourced with respect for both environmental sustainability and local communities.

The result is a clean-burning, high-heat fuel that delivers longer burn times, minimal ash, and bold natural flavor — without additives or fillers. Whether you're grilling steaks, smoking ribs, or fueling a commercial kitchen, our charcoal is designed to perform.

Our Story

Our journey began with a simple observation: the Canadian market lacked consistent access to premium, ethically produced charcoal. What started as a personal pursuit to fill that gap soon evolved into a business built on transparency, quality, and customer trust.

By forging direct relationships with producers and managing our own logistics, we created a supply chain rooted in reliability. Today, we proudly serve everyone from independent retailers and food trucks to wholesale distributors and hospitality groups throughout Canada and beyond.
