D.R. Johnston is the domestic wholesale division of JBS Australia — the nation’s largest meat processing company and part of JBS, the global industry leader.

Our close integration with JBS gives us year round access to an extensive, multi-species brand portfolio designed to meet the evolving expectations of modern consumers. This partnership ensures consistent quality and dependable supply — a priority for the butcher shops, independent supermarkets, and food service partners we support across the country.

With diverse production sites and robust infrastructure throughout Australia, we’re able to source and deliver the finest products our country produces. JBS brands are crafted across 11 strategically located production facilities nationwide.

We are proud to be the exclusive distributor of many of JBS Australia’s most recognised, award winning brands. Our beef programs offer true provenance and purpose driven feeding regimens — from certified grass-fed products within the Great Southern Farm Assured program to premium Northern grain-fed lines where cattle walk from feedlot to processing facility. We also manage our own pork brand, Tender Valley Pork, built around tailored weekly production to meet customer needs with quick turnaround times.

Backed by a dedicated team, D.R. Johnston operates seven wholesale facilities strategically positioned for maximum coverage and service. Because our customers are at the centre of our business, we maintain strong relationships with leading transport providers to uphold our high delivery standards. In Sydney, our own refrigerated fleet enables same day delivery — a service also available through several of our other depots.
