British and Irish meats supplier, Dawn Meats, has concluded a deal with the Jasper Family to acquire the Jasper beef abattoir and boning facility in Treburley, Cornwall.
Dawn Meats was first established in 1980 and now has multiple sites in the UK and Ireland and one in France. Dawn Meats’ product portfolio spans all beef and lamb cuts, through fresh and frozen beef patties to fully cooked ready to heat meal solutions.
A €1 billion turnover business, it has 2,700 employees and is the winner of multiple sustainability and product awards, including a UK Green Apple Environmental award (National Green Champion).
The addition of the Cornwall-based plant will allow the group to slaughter up to 1,000 cattle per week at the new site.
Commenting on the deal, David Jasper said: "We have known and done business with Dawn Meats for many years. We are pleased that Dawn has decided to invest in Cornwall and we are confident they will continue our tradition of providing great service to both our farmers and our customers."
Niall Browne, CEO, Dawn Meats said: "Dawn Meats is pleased that the Jasper family and staff will remain with the business, which is well invested and operates to the highest standards. It is also highly complementary to our existing abattoir in Devon."
Dawn Meats already has four primary processing plants in Ireland in Mayo, Laois, Cork, Waterford and six primary processing facilities in the UK, located in Bedfordshire, Yorkshire, Cumbria, Ayrshire in Scotland, Devon and now in Cornwall. It also has a state of the art retail and foodservice packing facility in Carmarthenshire in Wales and two foodservice and frozen patty sites in Waterford.
