Carmans is one of Belgium’s leading wholesalers, supplying premium, high-quality meat to restaurants all across the country. Ken Marchal is Carmans’ sales and marketing manager and he describes how this trusted company gained its in-depth, hands-on expertise through humble origins. Originally founded as a local butcher, Carmans expanded into wholesale fifteen years ago and now sources specialist beef, game and poultry products from all over the world.
Carmans has recently embraced the opportunity to partner with Van Zon, a large European general wholesale company whose cash and carry outlets give them the opportunity to answer the needs of a larger audience.
“Now we are one of the big boys in Belgium.”
As a specialist wholesaler, Carmans stands for excellence, a wide choice of products and a consistent quality that customers can count on.
Having been introduced to Irish Hereford Prime a number of years ago, Ken is proud to report that it is a favourite among the chefs that he supplies. He points to the attributes of quality, consistency and flavour of Irish Hereford Prime as the main reasons for his customers’ preference and explains that he believes the beef’s famous marbling is what enhances the meat’s unbeatable tenderness.
“Our customers like Irish Hereford Prime because of consistent quality, taste and tenderness.”
Ken is happy to recommend Irish Hereford Prime to his customers with confidence, because he knows that he can always count on its “year long” consistent quality. He contributes this consistency to the Irish way of farming which leads to healthy, stress-free cattle.
Carmans supplies a range of customers, from larger eateries and exclusive Michelin star restaurants to smaller family style establishments, and he recommends Irish Hereford Prime to all of them.
“I would recommend it very highly, because of the consistent quality and the fact that it tastes very good all year long.”
