Our story photo is coming soon

Founded in 1995 on Norwich Avenue

Pacific Meat Sales was founded in 1995 at a single site on Norwich Avenue in Thomastown, in northern metropolitan Melbourne. What began with fewer than a dozen people has grown over 30+ years into a 250+ strong operation and one of Australia’s most capable wholesale beef and pork processors.

The next generation

Today the company is run day to day by the second generation of the family — brothers now at the helm. The founders are still actively involved in the business they started in 1995. Over the last decade, export has grown strongly, with container loads now reaching key export markets across Asia and the Pacific Islands.

Today

Our facilities feature a multi-species boning room (pork and beef) with chilled and frozen capabilities, and we can fulfil carton, bin, pallet, container, and retail-ready portioned orders. We supply customers right across the meat trade, from independent butcher shops, supermarkets, and wholesale distributors to food service operators, caterers, value-added manufacturers, and mining industry camps, across Australia and select export markets.

With a team of around 250+ dedicated, highly skilled employees and a consistent focus on quality, we also offer contract processing, boning, and cutting services for other processors, built on dependable processing, responsive service, and a practical approach to meeting customer requirements.

Both facilities are HACCP-certified, export-accredited and AUS-MEAT accredited, with dedicated on-site Quality Assurance teams at each site. Each carton, pallet, and retail pack carries a batch code, production date, and unique identifier for full line-level traceability. Our QA systems log every production step, so if a question ever arises we can trace it back to the line, batch & operator.

30+ years. 2 facilities. 1 QA standard.

Our Facilities

Two purpose-built sites, one commitment to quality. Together they process beef and pork across the full spectrum, from wholesale primals to ready-to-cook portion-controlled cuts.

Keeping high-capacity retail packing on a dedicated site is a deliberate choice. It lets each facility specialise: the main plant focuses on bulk boning and carton packing, while the retail site runs automated tray sealing, thermoforming, skinpack, and weigh price labelling without interruption. The result: wholesale customers get consistent bulk supply and retail customers get precisely portioned, shelf-ready product, whether they run a butcher shop, supermarket, restaurant, or food service operation.

Main Processing Plant

Our flagship processing facility in northern metropolitan Melbourne is the engine room of Pacific Meat Sales. Featuring a multi-species boning room, chilled and frozen processing capabilities, and state-of-the-art cutting lines, this plant handles bulk production for domestic and export customers, from wholesale distributors and further processors to food service operators and a wide range of processed food manufacturers. From whole-carcass breakdown to carton, pallet, and container packing, every step is managed under our HACCP-certified quality system. This site is export accredited by AUS-MEAT and holds the required licences to export Australian meat.

This site is supported by a dedicated on-site maintenance team and QA team, ensuring every shift meets our quality benchmarks. The logistics & transport, HR, IT, Sales, and Administration teams are also headquartered here, providing centralised support across both facilities.

Retail packing lines at this site are equipped with high-precision weigh price labellers, ensuring every pack is accurately packed and every priced item is correctly labelled. All packing data is meticulously logged to maintain packaging integrity across every retail-ready product.
