OUR PRINCIPLES

Natural

We are firm believers that you are what you eat. That’s why we keep things natural throughout our supply chain. Our farmers follow sustainable farming practices and raise our lambs in a pure and clean environment according to the rhythms of nature. Our product is minimally processed and contains no artificial ingredients. It’s natural food, made the natural way.

Integrity

Ovation is made up of honest people with a real passion for farming and a commitment to produce the best lamb in the world. We’re renowned for a consistent, high-quality product that’s available all year round without fail. It’s open and honest communication, and trusted relationships that keep our supply and service possible.

Quality

Ovation lamb is a premium product that’s been produced to suit an array of occasions, flavours and menus. Our products and packaging formats are varied to suit customers and tastes. What Ovation lamb never differs on is delivering the highest possible food safety standards. These assurances also mean that our lamb comes with the best possible shelf life.

100% NEW ZEALAND OWNED

Ovation New Zealand Limited is 100% New Zealand privately owned and operated. With our three modern facilities all in the more temperate North Island of New Zealand, we’re able to supply product 52 weeks of the year. We work directly with supermarkets and food service providers around the globe. We build long-term customer supply programmes based on consistent availability of an exceptional product to a consistent specification, with the best possible shelf life.

OVATION PLANTS

Ovation operates three modern plants in the North Island of New Zealand. Throughout all of the facilities substantial investment has been made in state of the art technology, machinery, processes and quality assurance programmes to ensure our products meet and exceed the highest international quality standards and customer expectations.

Our slaughter plants have been designed with small livestock holding facilities to ensure a minimal period of time between lambs arriving at the plant and processing taking place.

The emphasis is on ensuring a clean, cold and simple environment to process chilled products. These are key factors in achieving the longest possible shelf life. This process requires that strict standards are met on all aspects of hygiene and temperature control through the production and distribution process.

Ovation products are also processed and packaged at Progressive Meats Limited and our affiliate company Te Kuiti Meat Processors Limited
