Namibia’s largest Beef processing organisation
The Meat Corporation of Namibia (‘MeatCo’) is Namibia’s largest Beef processing organisation, operating four beef processing plants within the region including Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. The two year, Euro 300k contract includes Emydex system rollouts to Meatco’s two export approved slaughter and boning plants in Windhoek and Okahandja, as well as two further non-export abattoirs in Katima and Oshakati that are owned by the Namibian government but managed by Meatco.
Emydex went live in the Windhoek beef deboning plant in March 2014, which was the first of an eight-phase project that will see Emydex systems rolled out across MeatCo’s six beef processing operations, that includes a Wholesale beef processing plant and a cannery, both on the Windhoek site, as well as integrating to the Table Bay Cold Store in South Africa.
