Our Story
From a humble butcher shop to Australia’s favourite producer of Ham, Bacon and Smallgoods, Primo Foods has been putting smiles on faces for over 60 years.
Today we are Australia’s largest, most trusted Smallgoods supplier. Our journey has been built on quality products and a customer centric approach. JBS ownership has brought an overlay of talent, resource and vertical integration to our business.
Combined with our passion for innovation and leading edge R&D, Primo has moved beyond Australia’s No. 1 Smallgoods supplier to become Primo Foods – providing quality and value-added food solutions to customers and consumers around the world.
