Meatmasters Group Abattoir was opened in 1998 and is registered as a high throughput Red Meat Abattoir. The Abattoir is situated 13km from Vryheid on the R69 towards Louwsburg in Northern KwaZulu-Natal.

We are registered with the Department of Veterinary Public Health, Registration Number: 5/54, and are subject to continuous inspections and quality assessments from the above Department. We use the independent services of IMQAS; their services are coordinated by SAMIC, to provide the meat inspection and classification. You can visit their website to learn more about their meat classification and grading standards, and their codes of good practice.

IMQAS assists us in the implementation of the HAS method of quality control.  Traceability of each carcass is guaranteed with our bar coded carcass tracking system. Most of the livestock slaughtered comes from the farms of our shareholders. We can guarantee traceability and quality from farm to plate!

Meatmasters Group Abattoir slaughters for our own retail outlets and processing factory, as well as contract slaughtering for bigger clients. We wholesale graded pork, beef and lamb carcasses to butcheries, wholesalers and processors across South Africa: full loads are delivered anywhere in the country, with regular regional runs across KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and Gauteng. The abattoir and primal plant are FSSC 22000 certified and the abattoir is Pork 360 certified.
