We are Meat 2000

Your Experts in South American Beef

About Us

Fast distribution channels and maximum reliability

Since our company was founded in 1981, we have been importing high-quality meat from around the world to the European market, establishing ourselves as one of the leading South American wholesalers in the process. We have long-standing partnerships and experience with our top contacts in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay, and we make our expertise available to the European trade as an established import company.

Meat 2000 Fleischhandelsgesellschaft mbH owes its success to its high standards of traceability, natural rearing, animal-friendly husbandry, gentle processing and transport, fast distribution channels, sophisticated logistics and exceptional quality. Originally founded as a meat importer with a focus on South America in Hennef, the company has been based in Cologne since 2011 and has grown continuously with foresight. From there, we supply the European trade with large quantities of nutritious premium meat.

“Top quality that you can taste. We stand for natural breeding, animal-friendly husbandry, and gentle processing.”

Quality Is Our Top Priority

We guarantee consistently excellent quality that you can rely on through optimal animal husbandry conditions, gentle processing methods, fast distribution channels, and our high quality standards, from the selection of suppliers to the delivery of goods to European retailers.
