With the support of JBS Australia, and the flexibility to source products from various suppliers, we are able to provide consistent and professional service to our customers who range from local butcher shops to independent supermarkets and large value added processors.

Integral to DRJ's success is its ability to understand the demands of its customers. Setting us apart from other meat traders/wholesalers is our strong relationship with transport providers. In our Sydney operation, 10 refrigerated trucks provide us with the ability to offer same day delivery to our customers and this same day delivery is also available at a number of our other depots through our close relationship with external transport companies.
