Why Us

We have learned our craft from the ground up. Our humble beginnings in our butchers shop in Dublin taught us the value of craftsmanship and of the deep rooted skills, care and attention to detail this demands from the farmer right through to the consumer. We offer primary processed and value-added Beef, Lamb and Pork including foodservice ranges of chef-ready steaks, joints, minced & diced product and fresh & frozen burgers. In addition, we offer our customers a full range of packaging including skinpack, vac pack and retail packing. At Kepak, consumer insight and innovation are at the heart of what we do. From our expertise in these areas, we have developed a portfolio of leading brands that are successful in the chilled convenience and frozen meat categories in markets across Europe.
