Fifty-five years.
One recipe.
We have been making world-class dried meats since 1970. The recipe hasn’t changed.
Our original recipe
Mr Jan De Beer perfected our original recipe for boerewors, biltong and droëwors in Brits, South Africa. The products became popular with the local community, and word spread fast about the family’s commitment to quality. This was only the start of the De Beer family’s journey.
Australia beckons
The De Beer family decided to put down roots in Brisbane. It wasn’t easy, but they opened several butcher shops around Queensland and introduced the family recipe to Aussies young and old. Success was phenomenal, and demand soon outgrew the kitchen.
Our first factory
Demand for our boerewors, biltong and droëwors kept growing, so we opened a brand new factory in Capalaba, Brisbane. Production doubled, and we started offering contract manufacturing.
Capalaba expansion
Contract manufacturing, custom recipe blending, packaging and logistics proved so popular that we needed more space, more equipment and more staff. We expanded the Capalaba factory.
Bigger things
We outgrew Capalaba again, so we thought big, and custom-built our factory in Rocklea, Brisbane. It was almost five times the floor space, more equipment and over 25 staff.
From our family to yours
Rocklea is still turning out high-quality boerewors, biltong and droëwors, made here in sunny Queensland. We make it with passion and a commitment to quality that keeps growing.
