Company history

Founded in 1989 by 14 producers and a butcher, the co-operative Porcs Qualité Ardenne (PQA) is located in Malmedy in the Belgian Ardennes.

The farmers, currently 120 of them, produce 3 kinds of pork according to strict specifications, controlled by recognised independent certifying bodies: Promag asbl for the “Porc Fermier” and “Porc Plein Air” and Certisys for the “porc BIO”. All the standards are officially recognised by the Walloon Region, for differentiated quality.
