History

Founded in 1963 by George Zaslaw, a pioneer in the South American Beef Trade, SAMPCO (South American Meat Products Company) has been the most influential company in developing and sustaining business between the two hemispheres.

In 2001, David Morrison and Richard Smaligo formed a partnership and acquired SAMPCO. Both individuals have over 30 years of Food Industry related experience. The full team at SAMPCO has built its reputation on Food Safety, Quality and Service to its diverse customer base, which includes some of the largest food companies in the world, right down to niche market players.

Today, SAMPCO has expanded upon its formula for success and is now actively trading a wide variety of Food Products in Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa. Our services encompass all sectors within the industry, whether it is Industrial, Food Service or Retail. In part, SAMPCO owes its success to its team of professionals that shares the same philosophy of its owners.

Treating clients, suppliers and employees fairly is the SAMPCO way of doing business.
