Metcash (ASX: MTS) is Australia’s leading wholesale distribution and marketing company with sales of over $14 billion in FY19.
We believe that it is absolutely vital to Australia that there is a sustainable, independent, family-owned business sector. Independent retailers support their local communities. We help them to be the ‘Best Store in Town’ by providing merchandising, operational and marketing support across our food, liquor and hardware pillars.
In Food, we proudly support a network of over 1,600 independently owned stores Australia-wide, including the well known IGA and Foodland brands. Our retailer partners mix the charm, knowledge and convenience of a local store, with the quality and competitive prices of a national one. The stores we support sit at the heart of the local community, sourcing a range of the best products from local producers and contributing to the local economy.
In Liquor, we are the largest supplier to independent liquor retailers and the largest broad range liquor wholesaler in Australia. Through our Independent Brands Australia (IBA) banner group, we support ~2,700 stores across leading independent retail brands such as Cellarbrations, The Bottle-O, IGA Liquor, Duncan’s, Thirsty Camel, Big Bargain and Porters Liquor.
In Hardware, we support the largest independent hardware group in Australia and are a leader when it comes to servicing the Trade market. Under the Independent Hardware Group (IHG), we support the leading independent hardware brands Mitre 10 and Home Timber & Hardware along with Hardings, Thrifty-Link Hardware and True Value Hardware; we supply more than 1,600 stores nationwide.
We believe: Independence is worth fighting for; in treating our people, retailers and suppliers the way we like to be treated; and in giving back to the communities where we live and work.’
