METRO Snapshot
METRO is a leading company in food wholesale and distribution. Together with our professional HoReCa and Trader customers, we want to become even more successful. We are convinced that we can trigger organic growth with our wholesale strategy. The market in our segment is big enough - in all countries where we are active. The time is ripe: competition is fragmented, the industry is growing and major social trends are in our favour. We are reaching the score: "sCore" is the name of our strategy.
METRO is a premier global food wholesaler catering to hotels, restaurants, caterers (HoReCa), and independent merchants (Traders) across 33 countries with over 85,963 employees. With approximately 15 million customers worldwide, our unique multichannel approach allows for in-store shopping or convenient delivery through Food Service Distribution (FSD), all seamlessly integrated digitally. Our online marketplace, METRO MARKETS, serves professional customers and has seen continuous growth since 2019.
Committed to empowering local communities, we support entrepreneurs and independent businesses with digital solutions, fostering cultural diversity in trade and hospitality. Our mission is to elevate the food and hospitality sector to new heights.
