About Mérat AG
Mérat AG is a Swiss meat processor specialised in gastronomy, headquartered in Martigny. Having grown out of a small family butcher shop, the company has been supplying restaurateurs, top chefs and large-scale catering kitchens throughout Switzerland for over 80 years. The product range includes meat specialities (beef, veal, pork), poultry and seafood under the Tipesca brand; the focus is on Swiss raw material, complemented by selected international specialities. In the company's own meat vault in Martigny, carefully selected meat is stored using the dry-ageing method until it reaches optimum maturity, then trimmed, portioned and shock-frozen. With the exclusive ageing cabinets from Swiss Gourmet Grand Cru, Mérat also offers gastronomy partners ageing directly in their own restaurant. Delivery takes place fresh every day from nine regional gastro butcher shops; orders can be placed via a web shop.
