Beef

Australia has an international reputation for maintaining the highest standards in food safety and quality, and Samex applies this commitment throughout its global operations.

Licensed by the Australian Government and Aus-Meat, Samex has the resources to meet the complex and exacting requirements of different international buyers.

The global supply chain developed by Samex gives us access to the best grass-fed and grain-fed livestock to supply the various market segments with the finest beef all year around.

Many buyers favour the leaner product raised naturally on Australia’s premium grasslands, while others may prefer beef that has been fed on high-energy feed over a specified number of days.

There is also a growing worldwide trend for organic produce. Whatever the requirements, Samex can deliver quality product on time.

For example, we can source the heavily marbled beef graded through the Meat Standards Australia grading system for upmarket restaurants worldwide, we can supply quality packaged product to supermarket chains and bulk commodity shipments for customers in the manufacturing industry.

Our business embraces innovation throughout the meat supply chain, which means we are regularly introducing improved packaging and delivery systems.

Halal Certified

Samex is a major exporter of meat products to Muslim markets. We offer Halal certified meat that has been slaughtered by registered Muslim slaughtermen in accordance with Islamic rites under the supervision of the Australian government.
