Business
Metcash Limited (ASX:MTS) is Australia's leading wholesale distribution and marketing services company, supporting independent retailers across food, grocery, liquor, hardware, and automotive sectors. The company operates through three primary pillars—Food, Liquor, and Hardware—offering merchandising, operational, inventory management, marketing, and supply chain support; in Food, it supplies over 1,600 supermarket stores under banners including IGA, Foodland, Friendly Grocer, and Eziway, alongside foodservice and convenience distribution through Campbells/C-Store and Superior Foods; in Liquor, it services more than 3,300 outlets via Cellarbrations, Bottle-O, and other independent banners primarily in Australia and New Zealand; and in Hardware, it supports approximately 730 stores under Mitre 10, Home Timber & Hardware, and related automotive parts networks. Headquartered in Macquarie Park, New South Wales, Metcash traces its origins to Davids Limited, founded in 1927, with the modern entity listing on the ASX in 2005 following a series of mergers and name changes from predecessors like Metro Cash and Carry. The company primarily serves independent, family-owned retailers nationwide, enabling them to compete as the "Best Store in Town" through localized product ranges, community support programs, and extensive logistics covering remote areas. Recent developments include the 2024 acquisition of Superior Foods, a national foodservice wholesaler with 23 branches and extensive delivery capabilities, strengthening Metcash's position as Australia's largest food distributor to independents; FY26 half-year results announced on 1 December 2025 showed revenue growth, a 2% EBITDA increase, and $142 million profit; and ongoing expansions in convenience and liquor segments to bolster independent retailer networks.
