Founded in 1988 and headquartered at 1468 Phatthanakan Road, Bangkok, Thailand, the company operates through its core Makro brand for cash-and-carry wholesale to business customers including retailers, hotels, restaurants, and catering (HoReCa) operators; LOTS Wholesale Solutions for specialized wholesale; and Lotus's retail supermarkets, hypermarkets, and mini-supermarkets offering fresh food, dry groceries, non-food items, meat, seafood, plant-based products, dairy, bakery, beverages, charcuterie, fine-dining items, delicatessen, fruits, vegetables, and private labels. It also manages lease spaces in Lotus's shopping centers in Thailand and Malaysia; provides foodservice importing, distribution, storage, and delivery of premium frozen and chilled products via Siam Food Services; and offers warehouse management, freight, delivery rental, online platforms such as Makro PRO, MakroClick, Lotus's SMART app, and omnichannel services including grocery home shopping.
The company targets business-to-business (B2B) clients like SMEs, hospitality, and institutional buyers alongside business-to-consumer (B2C) general consumers, emphasizing fresh food leadership, technology-driven personalization via AI analytics, and hybrid wholesale-retail concepts in smart community centers. In recent developments, CP Axtra completed the amalgamation of its prior entity with Ek-Chai Distribution System on October 1, 2024, assuming all assets and liabilities while relisting under ticker CPAXT on the Stock Exchange of Thailand; executed the entire business transfer of Lotus's Stores (Thailand) in April 2024; acquired 100% of Renewed Hope in August 2025 to bolster foodservice across 20 cities in seven Asia-Pacific and Middle East countries and support Malaysian retail growth; formed a strategic partnership with CJ Logistics in November 2025 for advanced supply chain operations including a 67,000 sq.m multi-temperature distribution center in Ayutthaya and future 164,000 sq.m wholesale facilities with new Warehouse Management System and Total Control Tower; partnered with CJ CheilJedang in December 2025 via MOU to expand Bibigo K-food products through over 2,700 Makro and Lotus's stores; and converted LPF to Axtra Future City REIT (AXTRART) in December 2024. These initiatives enhance operational efficiency, regional leadership in premium foods, and ASEAN retail technology ambitions as part of the CP Group ecosystem.
