This latest move in the growth of Andrews Meat Industries will take the operation to a forecast of more than $650 million turnover in the coming financial year

Andrews Meat Industries (AMI) is expanding its foodservice protein supply capabilities by welcoming premium Queensland-based meat wholesaler Prime Cut Meats (PCM) into its group.

AMI CEO Peter Andrews said the move will add value to PCM’s strong reputation for quality and service, enabling enhanced product and distribution capability in the Queensland and northern New South Wales foodservice markets.

“This is a natural fit for both businesses, and we’re all pleased that the Prime Cut Meats team is uniting with the Andrews Meat family,” Andrews said.

“PCM has a strong reputation for service and quality, and AMI will bring further value to the operation by helping to increase that capacity and capability.”

Prime Cut Meats is a supplier of premium meat products to hospitality venues across Brisbane and wider Queensland, including restaurants, hotels, food service providers and caterers.

PCM manager Laurie Marguglio said, “Prime Cut Meats started in 2007 with a philosophy of providing the best cuts to chefs in Brisbane. It has been an outstanding venture that has progressively grown and developed in the years since, and AMI is the ideal strategic next step for the business.”

PCM manager Nick Zanapalis continued, “As the Queensland foodservice market expands, this was the perfect opportunity for Prime Cut Meats to join with a similar business that appreciates what we’ve built in terms of service and reputation, while growing the capability of what can be offered to our clientele.”

JBS Australia CEO Brent Eastwood said the acquisition reflects JBS’s ongoing strategy to build its position as a leading food solutions provider in Australia.

“This initiative demonstrates JBS’s commitment to investing in businesses that share our focus on quality, service, and customer relationships,” Eastwood said.

“By supporting Andrews Meat Industries and Prime Cut Meats, we’re enhancing our ability to deliver premium protein solutions across the eastern seaboard and reinforcing JBS’s role as a trusted partner to the foodservice industry.”
