It started with a small butcher shop in Gympie’s Mary Street in the 1950s. Now Nolan Meats has just opened the largest fully automated meat chilling and distribution centre in the southern hemisphere.

Pat and Marie Nolan founded Nolan Meats in 1958. Their sons Tony, Michael and Terry operate the family-owned, vertically integrated business, which employs 405 people across four sites, including three feed lots to ensure consistent supply.
