About Metcash
Originating in the 1920's as a family business, Metcash Limited (Metcash) is Australia's leading wholesale distribution and marketing company specialising in grocery, fresh produce, liquor, hardware and other fast moving consumer goods.
Metcash has 4 divisions, often referred to as business pillars, each operating in a distinct wholesaling industry segment:
- IGA Distribution (including IGA Fresh, the specialist fresh food division);
- Australian Liquor Marketers
- Campbells Wholesale; and
- Mitre 10
All business pillars are fully owned by Metcash with the exception of Mitre 10, which is 50.1% owned.
Metcash's customers are, predominantly, independently owned grocery and liquor stores. With the acquisition of Mitre 10 in March 2010, Metcash has broadened its customer range to include independent hardware stores.
Metcash champions the interests of the independent grocery, liquor and hardware sectors through its core competencies of buying, merchandising, marketing, brand building, distribution logistics and warehousing.
With the support of its customers, independent retailers, Metcash is the "third force" in the Australian grocery retailing market.
