Company History

For over four generations, family owned Chiappetti Lamb and Veal has been delivering the freshest American lamb and veal money can buy.  Our commitment to quality and service is unsurpassed in the meat packing industry...and we have been conducting business this way for over half a century.  Over 50 years ago, founder Fiore Chiappetti began butchering an occasional lamb for his family and friends.  Word of his small butchering operation spread and soon the business relocated to stockyards of Chicago.  Son, Mike Chiappetti, skillfully developed the business into the largest lamb and veal slaughterhouse in the Midwest and one of the largest family owned in the country.  Regarded as an authentic pioneer in the meat packing business, Mike served as a mentor for sons and apprentices Mike, Dennis, Bryan and David.  Today, the torch has been passed to President, Dennis Chiappetti.  He is a true subject matter expert in the meat packing industry.  Dennis and his staff have been intimately involved in innovative product design to supply even the most demanding consumer.  Times sure have changed...and so have we!  Through the years, Chiappetti Lamb and Veal has provided its customers with  fresh American lamb and veal delivered with value added features that have developed consumer loyalty.  An extensive list generated by satisfied patrons across the country have realized Chiappetti's superior quality.  As the last remaining lamb slaughterhouse in Chicago, we have continually  upgraded our facilities to meet customer demand.  Our two state-of-the-art plants house everything from floor and cutting operations to packaging, shipping and administrative services.  Chiappetti's skilled butchers ensure meticulously trimmed products.  Our dynamic product line includes carefully trimmed primals, sub-primal, block ready, private label, pre-seasoned and HRI cuts.  Packaged and shipped to meet your needs, Chiappetti Lamb and Veal has the right product for you.  From the livestock pen to the dining table, let fresh American lamb and veal from Chiappetti serve you!  Call us today at 773-847-1556 for more information.  Contact our Sales and Marketing team to become one of Chiappetti's satisfied customers.
