Teys Australia is a meat-processing company headquartered at Building 3, Freeway Office Park, 2728 Logan Rd, Eight Mile Plains QLD 4113, Australia. In 2014, it was Australia's second-largest meat processor and exporter, with export operations in 40 countries.

History[edit]

In 1946, the four Teys brothers, Cid, Cliff, Mick, and Max, purchased a series of butcher shops in and around Brisbane. By 1952, the business grew to eight shops, a wholesale operation, and a newly completed abattoiratBeenleigh, where the company continues to have its headquarters.[1]

Teys has a history of working in various partnerships over the decades, including with Canada Packers Inc, Consolidated Press Holdings, and since 2011, Cargill. Through a partnership with Teys, reversing the significant losses of the Lakes Creek Abattoir then controlled by Kerry Packer became possible.

Teys has built long-lasting international supply relationships, particularly in Japan, to which it was one of the first exporters of chilled beef.[1]
