TFI

TFI is first and foremost a family business. Established in 1988 by Chris Thomas, TFI grew from small beginnings to become one of Australia’s largest family-owned food businesses, and is now led by his son, Darren Thomas. With teams in Australia, the US, China, Japan and Europe, the TFI brands and business partnerships grow, supply, and distribute premium meat and seafood all over the world. As a family business, they’re driven by strong values. Their commitment to providing the best customer service is only matched by their commitment to consistently high quality products.

With strict hygiene and handling standards and a fierce belief in doing things the right way, they don’t compromise on quality. But they’re also aware of their responsibility to the animals, people and communities that they work with. Safety, animal welfare, and sustainability are all a part of the fabric of the business, and are integrated into everything they do. Part of the secret behind our success is that they’re constantly experimenting and branching out into new markets.

They understand the changing demands, whims and tastes of consumers and create new products and new tastes to help their customers meet these expectations.
