Founded in 1964, Metro AG operates primarily in the foodservice and hospitality distribution sector, supplying products to hotels, restaurants, caterers and institutional customers. The company’s self‐service wholesale model combines large-format stores with streamlined purchasing processes designed to meet the specific needs of professional clients.
