BRM - Main Sponsor

BRM WAS FOUNDED IN 1985 BY SEYMOUR TALPERT AND JOHNNY CANDELARIA.
BRM’s position as a global market leader in cooked meats, and our uncompromising commitment to quality and food safety, was first recognised in 2006, when we became the first company in South Africa to have our Food Safety and Quality Management System certified by the SABS (South African Bureau of Standards) as ISO 22 000.

Our commitment to quality and food safety is ongoing and today, both our manufacturing plants are export approved and certified by SGS International on the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmarked FSSC 22 000 standard.

The factories operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and are still passionately “managed by families of the founders and a team of almost 400 people. The team includes some of the world’s top food scientists, experienced meat professionals and passionate chefs who thrive on developing new concepts and making incredible products every single day.
