A beef processing plant on Campbell Road in Feilding, where AFFCO has operated since 1914 and which the website describes as a leading multishift beef processing plant. The plant produces a full range of chilled and frozen beef cuts, along with offal, for markets in the EU, North America, China, Malaysia, the Middle East and Asia. It is fully halal approved. Each carton of bulk-packed beef is checked for chemical lean levels by online x-ray. Rendering material goes to AFFCO Imlay for feed meals and tallow, and the hides go daily to the Napier tannery.
AFFCO is 100 percent New Zealand owned and part of the Talley's Group. Across its 12 plants, it exports lamb, beef and allied products to more than 80 countries. Its Cash for Calves programme gives 40 cents for every bobby calf supplied to a nominated local school or fire brigade, and has raised over $1 million for them since 2006. The plant's work with farmers in the region fits that programme, which is run across the company.
