Kepak is a global food company serving international retailers and food service household names with prime cuts of meat, on-trend food concepts and ready-for-market convenience foods.  Our meat is sourced primarily from quality assured farms and our beef and lamb are pasture-grazed for most of the year.

Be it fresh meat crafted by our master butchers (such as St. Merryn and McIntosh Donald) or our famous brands (such as Rustler’s, Big Al’s and John Stone), we offer a total food service solution with the premium quality our customers demand.

Our People & Our Culture

Our founder, Noel Keating, was a second-generation master butcher and his entrepreneurial spirit lives on in Kepak. We are, to this day, family-owned and run, which creates an open, positive, and genuinely welcoming working environment.

In a challenging and dynamic environment, our philosophy is always to be ‘more than’. We are more than tradition, more than quality, more than meat and more than a job.
