The Meat Box Continues To Grow — And Deliver More To Kiwi Households

The Meat Box, which delivers restaurant quality meat to households across New Zealand, is continuing its strong growth — despite rising red meat prices and economic pressures.

The company has been expanding its range to include more meat cuts like fresh fish and heat and eat options, while also offering complimentary groceries including fresh fruit and vegetables, and pantry essentials like sauces, cheese, and butter. And the prices are sharp — for example, Anchor Butter 500g is currently $9.49, cheaper than many leading supermarkets at the time of writing*.

To support this growth, The Meat Box has partnered with fellow Kiwi-owned business Neat Meat, bringing premium additions to the range such as Wagyu, SpeckleBeef and Duck.

Neat Meat is a New Zealand owned company that shares similar values to The Meat Box in delivering restaurant quality meat to consumers. Neat Meat partner with New Zealand farmers who have demonstrated they look after their animals and land ethically and sustainably.

Joel Reichardt, Head of Sales and Marketing at Neat Meat, says the partnership was a natural fit. “With the closure of our Online Shop, we wanted to find a like-minded company that allowed our customers to still enjoy these great products. The Meat Box is a family-owned company like ours, it believes in quality, so there was a natural fit.”

Wayne Kennerley CEO for The Meat Box added, “Being able to offer premium meat like Southern Stations NZ Wagyu, provides an easy way for consumers to get treat themselves or entertain at home and make a conscious choice to support New Zealand farmers. Unfortunately, there is an increasing amount of meat being imported into New Zealand, we’re here to support Kiwi Farmers. Offering Wagyu, along with juicy cuts like NZ SpeckleBeef and Duck means our Meat range is incredibly broad, providing consumers with a one stop shop for all your meat needs. We look forward to continuing to expand our meat, produce and complimentary grocery range to make it easier for kiwis to get restaurant quality meat delivered fresh from us to their home.”
