Sysco, Ireland’s foodservice specialist, has won three Top Awards, including the Foodservice Product of the year, at the annual Quality Food and Drink Awards, which took place recently at Dublin’s Mansion House.

In partnership with ABP, Sysco secured three major wins in the Foodservice category, highlighting the exceptional quality of their beef products. The company was awarded Joint Gold in the highly competitive Foodservice Meat Category for two of its standout products, Irish Nature Mohawk Steak and Irish Nature T-Bone Steak.

Sysco topped off its successful night with a Foodservice Product of the Year award for its Irish Nature T-Bone Steaks.

Speaking on the company’s success, Marian Cahill, Merchandise Director, Sysco Ireland, commented: 

“We are delighted to have won three gold awards at the Irish Quality Food and Drink Awards. Working alongside our meat processing partners ABP, it is an honour to have our speciality, artisan beef products recognised for their exceptional quality, cut and taste.

“For the past 35years we have been working in partnership with ABP and together we are committed to producing the highest quality, sustainable and perfectly aged steaks that not only meet but exceed our customers’ expectations. These awards are a testament to that commitment and to the hard work and dedication of the wider Sysco family and our partners.”

Kevin Cahill, Managing Director, ABP Ireland & Poland, said:

“We are extremely proud and honoured to continue our success at the Irish Quality Food and Drink Awards. It’s truly remarkable to have our products recognised alongside the outstanding food and drink from top Irish producers across the sector. These awards highlight the best of what the Irish food and drink industry offers. Receiving 17 awards in various product categories are a testament to the dedication, innovation, and hard work of both our team and our farmer suppliers.”

Thanks to an exclusive partnership with ABP, Sysco holds the sole rights to the ‘Irish Nature’ brand in Ireland.
