Dinnermates – The Company

The DinnerMates factory was commissioned in 1985 in Louis Trichardt,
South Africa, to supply the hospitality trade and food factories with a
product range consisting of frozen main meals, fast food items, cocktail snacks, vegetarian dishes and dried meats. Our products are high quality
portion controlled and easy to prepare, with menu lines that are timesaving
in preparation and cost effective.

With Marketing and Distribution in Kya-Sand , consisting of a
professional sales team, a fleet of 2,3 ,4 ton and 20 ton trucks, and a
national network of selected distributors, DinnerMates supplies all
major contract, corporate and independent caterers, fast food chains,
educational institutions, hospitals and the hospitality trade.

All DinnerMates products combine practical packaging & competitive
prices with consistent customer service and satisfaction, providing the
discerning chef with a sound backup service and peace of mind. Other
benefits include packaging to suit the client's needs, a wide product
range and sizes, strict quality assurance and products tailored to the
client's specifications.

Our Dried Meat products consist of real meat chunks and powders.
These dehydrated Chicken, Beef, Lamb and Pork products add body and
taste to any soup broth, cream soup/sauces, stews and pizza toppings.

For the more adventurous, we also produce dried meat products of game
such as Kudu, Springbok, Wildebeest etc., as well as Crocodile Meat.
Special attention has been paid to visual effects and real meat flavour
enhancing properties, as well as a long shelf life. All Dried Meats are
stabilized with an approved antioxidant exceeding multi-national
company specifications. There are a number of tailor made dried meats
available for use in baby food.

The Dried Meat factory was modernized in April 2005 and is now a
separate entity approved for EU export. Regular inspections ensure the
highest international standards of hygiene and quality assurance are
maintained. Liaison with government departments, State Veterinarians,
Municipality Health Inspectors and international companies, etc. have
all contributed to achieving the objective of a value added food processing
organisation, approved for supplying the EU (ZA113), which sets the highest
standard in the world.
