About Us

PIONEERS IN FRESH FOOD INNOVATION SINCE 1986

Beak & Johnston is a proudly Australian, privately owned fresh food business with over 39 years of experience delivering innovative, value-added meal solutions. Founded by David Beak in 1986, the company brought together four generations of meat industry expertise from across the globe.

FROM THAT FOUNDATION, WE’VE
GROWN INTO A MODERN FOOD
MANUFACTURING LEADER

– DRIVEN BY A PASSION FOR QUALITY,
CULINARY INNOVATION, AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.

We were the first in Australia to introduce case-ready meat, and sous vide slow-cooked lamb, ribs, and roasts, to retail shelves, setting the benchmark for fresh convenience and prepared meals using state-of-the-art manufacturing processes.

QUALITY & COMPLIANCE

PRECISION

SAFETY & EXCELLENCE

IN EVERY MEAL

At Beak & Johnston, quality isn’t just a benchmark – it’s embedded in every stage of our production.

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of food safety, compliance, and consistency across our operations, ensuring our products not only meet but exceed customer expectations.

We take pride in providing a safe, well-governed working environment for our people, underpinned by robust systems that comply with all relevant legislation, food safety regulations, and global industry best practices. Our commitment to quality assurance is refected in our certifcations, processes, and dedication to continuous improvement.

Once our chefs perfect a recipe, our advanced cooking methods – including sous vide technology – ensure every product is reproduced with precision. Computerised monitoring, strict temperature controls, and accurate cook times guarantee consistency from batch to batch, allowing us to deliver premium results whether for home cooks or professional kitchens.

Our integrated approach – combining culinary craftsmanship with food science and technology – allows us to deliver safe, great-tasting products at scale, without compromising on quality. Whether it’s dinner for one or meals for thousands, you can rely on Beak & Johnston to deliver with consistency, care, and compliance.

SUSTAINABILITY
Because good food should be good for the planet, people, and the future.

At Beak & Johnston, sustainability is more than a
goal – it’s a responsibility we carry in everything we do. Our commitment to the planet, people, and food guides our actions as we grow a business that supports healthy communities and a thriving natural environment.  We’re taking bold steps to reduce our environmental footprint and help build a more resilient food system. Through investments in energy-efficient infrastructure, solar installations, and responsible sourcing, we’re working towards a more sustainable future – from paddock to plate.

LOVE FOR PEOPLE

We believe our people are our greatest strength. That’s why we’re committed to being the employer, partner, and supplier of choice by fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive workplace. We provide meaningful opportunities for personal growth, training, and career development across our three manufacturing facilities.

Our support extends beyond our business. We proudly partner with Foodbank Australia and other local charities, regularly donating meals and participating in community initiatives that help tackle food insecurity and support vulnerable Australians.
