As a Meat Manager at Allied Foods in the 1960’s, George Stachecki loved helping customers. He enjoyed delighting them with the highest quality cuts, and providing an unsurpassed level of service. When Allied moved, George saw it as an opportunity to start his own company and Angus Meats was born – a place where his mantra “There is no substitute for quality” could become a reality.
This obsession with quality and service was passed on to his son, Tom, who now owns and operates the company with his wife, Leslie. By word-of-mouth, from chef to chef, and from neighbor to neighbor, our company has grown and prospered. We’re proud to be the region’s only independent purveyor, and to be a partner in growth with some of the region’s most respected restaurants, grocers and food service companies.
DEDICATION
INNOVATION
CUSTOMIZATION
Our tenured team of industry-educated, long-term employees is dedicated to their profession and care about how it’s done. We’re innovative, always learning, and thrive on getting our customer exactly what they want. And because we only specialize in proteins, we know our industry – hoof to tail.
We’ve been flattered to be told our work is reminiscent of the great artisans of years past. By definition, artisans practice a craft and through experience and aptitude reach the expressive levels of an artist—and we humbly believe that fits us to a tee.
Customer satisfaction might be the goal for some in our business, but our aim is customer delight. To us, that means exceeding needs, and helping our customers put a smile on their customer’s faces.
We invest in new product development in our Angus Kitchens, where our chef artfully taps old family recipes, International inspirations, and new industry innovations to offer savory, flavor-forward protein products—the types of products that help our customers keep their menus fresh and interesting.
We’re sure George would be proud.
WAY MORE
THAN MEAT
ALWAYS IN
SAFE HANDS
WITH ANGUS BRANDS
As a USDA inspected plant, we work closely with the federal government to adhere and surpass quality and sanitation standards. We pride ourselves on customer satisfaction with a dedicated work ethic of integrity, honesty, and consistency with the highest quality products available.
Sanitation and Product Integrity is our highest priority. As a USDA inspected manufacturing plant, Angus Meats strives to achieve a higher standard of cleanliness unsurpassed in our area. Our industry requires three U.S.D.A. programs, all of which have their own set of monitoring documentation that is regularly reviewed by an on-site USDA inspector.
Total Quality Control (TQC)
Standard Sanitation Operational Procedures (SSOP), and
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point Program (HACCP)
Each program was approved by the USDA and successfully implemented before any other wholesale meat business in the Spokane area, and we were the second wholesale meat company in Washington State to implement the TQC program. But, Angus Meats prefers to do better than industry standards. On our own initiative, we incorporated an additional three safety and sanitation programs for a total of six (6). Operating daily within these voluntary programs, all of our dedicated and hard working employees are 100% committed to produce consistent top quality products and provide the finest professional service possible.
Reputation is everything. Over the years, we have had the esteemed honor of being recognized for our efforts:
