Celebrating 35 Years of “Meating the Need

When Namibia won its independence in 1990, a butchery named Porky's Meat Market also opened its doors for the first time. What began as a modest family business, serving household favourites such as braai meat, biltong and droëwors, has grown into one of the country’s most trusted names in meat production and supply.Just four years after its founding, Porky's expanded with a second branch in the Northern Industrial area of Windhoek. Here, the business ventured beyond fresh cuts into producing an extended line of processed meats – Russians, Viennas and the now-iconic Original Polonies. These products quickly earned their place at family tables and have since become staples enjoyed across Namibia.In 2004, as demand continued to grow, Porky's established its own dedicated factory on Rensburger Street, Lafrenz, where it proudly continues to operate today. From this base, the company supplies not only households but also hawkers, fast-food outlets, service stations, hostels, hospitals and even military contracts, making it a vital player in Namibia’s food supply chain.This year, as the nation marks 35 years of independence, Porky's Meat Market is equally proud to celebrate 35 years of service to the community. The company has remained steadfast in its commitment to “Meating the Need” – ensuring that quality, affordable and reliable products are always within reach of Namibians from all walks of life.“Our journey is deeply tied to Namibia’s own growth story,” a company spokesperson said. “We are grateful to our partners, suppliers, and above all our loyal customers, who have supported us through every stage of this remarkable journey.”From the street corners where hawkers sell droëwors and mini polonies, to institutions where hearty meals nourish the young, the sick, and those in service – Porky’s products have become woven into everyday Namibian life.Porky’s Meat Market , your community butcher. Freshness starts here.
