Business
Metro AG operates as an international food wholesaler specializing in professional customers, including hotels, restaurants, caterers, bars, cafés, canteen operators and independent traders such as small grocery stores and kiosks. The company conducts store-based wholesale trade under the METRO and MAKRO brands; delivery business through METRO Delivery Service and food service distribution companies including Classic Fine Foods, Caterite, Pro à Pro, R Express, Aviludo, Pro a Pro Spain, Johan i Hallen Bergfalk and GVS Group; an online marketplace via METRO MARKETS focusing on professional equipment for HoReCa customers; digital business solutions under the DISH brand; non-food articles from own and third-party ranges; and services in logistics, IT, advertising, procurement and real estate. METRO serves approximately 15 million customers, primarily small and medium-sized enterprises and sole traders, through a multichannel model combining 623 stores in 21 countries, 94 dedicated depots and out-of-store delivery in more than 30 countries overall. Founded in 1964 and headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany, the company employs around 81,000 people and follows the sCore strategy emphasizing wholesale growth, digitalization and operational efficiency. In recent developments, EP Global Commerce GmbH, controlled by Daniel Křetínský, acquires the remaining 50.01% stake in Metro AG and completes a takeover leading to delisting from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in April 2025, enabling focused long-term strategy execution without public market pressures. METRO expands its food service distribution through acquisitions including Caterite Food & Wineservice in the UK in 2024, GVS Group in Germany in May 2025 targeting system gastronomy, and earlier Fisk Idag in Sweden. The company renews its strategic IT partnership with Wipro in June 2025 for two years, advancing cloud migration, AI-enabled services, data management and digital transformation aligned with its cloud-first approach.
