Tyson, exclusively partnered with

Zandbergen for beef in Europe

Zandbergen and Tyson:
an unbeatable team
IBP, which became part of Tyson Foods in 2001, began working exclusively with Zandbergen World’s
Finest Meat as their European distribution partner in 1994. Since then we have together built our
reputation as THE supplier of premium US beef in Europe and continue to grow and evolve our business
together in the dynamic European market.

Over the past 25 years, our high level of trust and mutual respect have reinforced our stature in the
demanding and eclectic market in Europe, which has learned to savour grain-fed beef and appreciate
the consistency brought by the breeds and feeding of US cattle, aligned with Tyson’s production skill and
rigorous quality control.

Zandbergen has two generations of experience in navigating the challenges of the trade flows and
regulatory detail of the global meat trade. It also brings the financial rigour required to plan long-term
commitments that are necessary in the longer beef cycle to assure supply consistency across both retail
and food service markets. Zandbergen’s unparalleled market knowledge, sales skill and distribution
capabilities combined with Tyson’s legendary reputation in beef production in
the US constitute an unbeatable team.

The IBP brand continues to form the foundation of our presence in

Europe and is now reinforced with our Angus beef brand Star Ranch.
US Beef
The unique flavour of US beef from IBP is the result of generations of experience in raising and perfecting
beef cattle breeds and feeding them on the farms and ranches on the Great Plains of the USA. The young
cattle feed on the natural grasses for 12-15 months before being fed on a balanced and nutritious blend of
grains and corn which adds to the unique flavour profile and marbling for which US beef is justly famous.

The level of marbling (silky, tiny threads of soft fat woven through the muscle) is a crucial factor in
determining beef quality and eatability. This is why IBP only uses beef of the top 3 quality grades available
in the U.S. The marbling dissolves during cooking, as a natural internal baste, which produces juicy, tender
and tasty steaks.
