About Primo Foods

Primo Foods was founded in 1985 with approximately 38 employees, operating a manufacturing facility in Homebush, Sydney. In 1991 the company expanded into Queensland with the acquisition of Gold Cob Smallgoods (now known as Primo). This manufacturing facility was the original headquarters for Primo Queensland. It was supported by a warehouse facility at Acacia Ridge and a smaller warehouse facility in Cairns. In February 1998, the Homebush facility relocated to new premises in Chullora, Sydney. This manufacturing plant was built to specification and was the most modern, innovative high tech facility operating in the Southern Hemisphere. Ever increasing demand saw this facility expanded on two additional occasions to meet the needs of the growing business. Primo Foods has been acquired in 2014 by JBS SA, the world's largest meat & protein solutions company and world's second largest food company. Primo Foods owns several brands loved by Australians (Primo, Hans, The Smokeman Brothers, Mayfair, Dandy etc...) and makes products such as bacon, ham, salami, deli meats, snacking and entertaining solutions.

Founded in 1985 by Andrew Lederer and Paul Lederer.
