About Us

Samex was established in Australia - the world's leading red meat export nation - in 1978, and quickly became one of the country's principal meat export trading companies.

Our business was founded on the export of small stock, including sheep, lamb and goat, and quickly expanded to include beef and poultry as well as a full range of offals. The acquisition of Peterborough meatworks means Samex is now the largest exporter of camel meat in the world.

Today Samex has grown expansively. To meet the needs of an ever increasing customer base, we have opened offices in China and The Middle East, and have established supply arrangements with leading meat producers around the world.

We have become the trusted suppliers to all importers of meat products worldwide, including, wholesalers, distributors, major supermarket chains, shipchandlers and government agencies.

Understanding the customer’s requirements has been the key to our success.

About Us

Global Supply Network

An extensive supply network means Samex can source everything from high-value chilled lamb and beef, airfreighted daily for high end dining and discerning consumers. Samex also source manufacturing meat for some of the worlds leading producers of smallgoods and further processed meats. Much of the meat we source is Halal certified, processed strictly according to our buyers religious requirements.

We also have the experience to meet the strict regulatory standards of various countries. Samex understands the complexities of different markets and makes certain all shipments comply with the local import authorities requirements.

Our in-house shipping and export documentation departments work closely with the Australian Department of Agriculture and Water Resources and equivalent authorities in other countries.

Another important point of difference at Samex is our understanding of the international retail sector. Our founders were master butchers and have invested extensive market research in producing meat products valued by the consumer.

We have our own brands – Samex, Matilda, Aussie Select, Down Under and Barossa Exports – that are sold around the world.

Associate Companies

Samex Peterborough

In January 2012, the Founding Directors of Samex acquired 100% ownership of the Peterborough Abattoirs, trading as Samex Peterborough Pty. Ltd.

Samex Peterborough is an Export Registered Establishment through the Australian government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources, under Establishment number 750. The abattoir is fully integrated with onsite slaughter, boning and freezing facilities.

The abattoir has recently undergone extensive renovations to improve efficiency and incorporate the latest technology in meat processing.

Located 260 Km’s north of Adelaide, Peterborough is ideally situated to process the camels that are mustered in central Australia.

Samex Peterborough is the only processor of Australian Free Range Camels, processing all year round. All camels processed at the site are slaughtered according to Islamic rites and therefore meet the strict religious requirements of all Muslim consumers.

As well as the high quality meat and offal products produced, we are also able to supply associated byproducts which include hides, meat and bone meal, and tallow.

Samex Peterborough continues to be a leader in the camel industry and we have a clear vision  highlighting the importance of this protein being available to the many communities that value its attributes as part of a highly nutritious and healthy diet.

Our Brands - Matilda's

Matilda’s Natural Australian Lamb is a high quality, chilled all-natural product; pasture raised with no added hormones and raised without antibiotics, underpinned by animal welfare certification. A pure product from a pure environment.

Matilda’s Natural Australian Lamb is sourced from ranchers in Southern Australia dedicated to high standards of animal welfare and sustainable ranching systems, Matilda’s Lambs are raised on open pastures in an unspoiled environment. Our lamb is graded at the processing facility to ensure only the very best are selected, the cuts are then vacuum sealed for freshness and shipped to you as a chilled product (never frozen), allowing the product to age naturally. Matilda’s Natural Australian Lamb is available in a full range of well-trimmed cuts suitable for retail and food service outlets.

pasture raised
Matilda’s Natural Australian Lamb is produced in Southern Australia and is a pasture raised product; our sheep are grazed in open pastures and grasslands (paddocks) for their entire life. This means our lambs receive the substantial percentage of their feed and nutrients from open pastures.
No antibiotics
It is not industry practice to use antibiotics in lamb production in Australia unless a lamb is showing signs of illness. Lambs that have been treated with antibiotics because of illness are excluded from the Matildas Natural Australian Lamb program.
Natural
Matilda’s Natural Australian Lamb does not contain artificial ingredients or additives; all products have been minimally processed.
no added hormones
The use of Hormone growth promotants for sheep and lamb production in Australia is prohibited.
animal welfare certification
On the ranch, livestock welfare has been developed by Animal Health Australia, the sheep industry as well as state and federal governments and is regulated through state legislation. The standards are based on current scientific knowledge, recommended industry practice and community expectations.

The Australian Livestock Processing Industry Animal Welfare Certification System (AAWCS) is an independently audited, usda recognised certification program used by australian livestock processors to demonstrate compliance with industry best practice animal welfare standards. The AAWCS covers all animal welfare activities at a participating livestock processing establishment - from receival of livestock at the establishment to the point of humane processing.
