Matanza, close to producers and customers since 1987.

Beef and veal from close to home.

For professionals who know
what matters.

Matanza is a family-run cattle slaughterhouse and wholesaler of fresh beef and veal in Ronse. Since 1987, we have worked closely with producers and customers, with our own selection, processing under one roof and clear agreements.

Cattle slaughterhouse for our own production and external customers.

Matanza is more than a link in the chain. We have our own slaughterhouse, where we slaughter cattle and calves for our wholesale business and for customers looking for a reliable, straightforward partner.

We work with clear agreements, dedicated contacts and a closely monitored process. What is slaughtered, when it happens and how the meat is processed afterwards: you know exactly where you stand.

From origin to delivery. Every step matters.

At Matanza, the slaughterhouse, cutting plant and packing area are all in the same building. This keeps processes short, the cold chain monitored and control firmly in our own hands.

Our traceability system ensures that every step is clearly recorded. Not because it looks good on paper, but because you need to know where your product comes from and where it is going.

CLOSE TO THE FARMER, CLOSE TO THE CONSUMER.

A family business. Meat is in our blood.

Matanza is not an anonymous company behind a logo. It is a family story that has been told for almost four decades in the Flemish Ardennes. From mother to children. From passion to craftsmanship.

Today, Els and Steven Vander Stichelen carry on that story with the same practical approach: close to producers, close to customers and never too big to keep an eye on the details themselves.

“The closeness between farmer, slaughterhouse and consumer is an essential part of our vision”
