Global food import and export company to merge business
It will be responsible for the global trading of around US$665m-worth of frozen and chilled meat and poultry annually.
The international food import and export company said the move to rebrand as Lamex Foods Europe reflected the integrated working relationship between the offices, and would streamline account management as well as giving customers access to increased product and technical support.
The company said the principal partners of each office would remain the same.
Mark Ryder, director of Lamex Food Group, said: "Sourcing on a global basis is now an integral part of today’s food business. Lamex Foods works in partnership with its customers and trusted suppliers to ensure that quality products, backed by industry-recognised assurance standards and industry-leading technical advice are standard.
"The launch of Lamex Foods Europe was a logical step forward for the group and will give customers access to more products and services, as well as the end-to-end supply chain management that buyers now demand."
Lamex Food Group, which has a turnover of more than $1.4bn, said that while poultry supply was the cornerstone of its business, the company also operated within numerous international meat markets, sourcing from all major meat production centres, in line with niche farming standards, plant accreditations and feed schemes.
