Look Inside

BE PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER

OUR STORY

The Metcash story began from the humble origins of our first family-owned corner store in 1927. And for almost 100 years since then, we’ve been backing independents and strengthening the communities we operate in.

Today, Metcash is Australia and New Zealand’s leading independent retail partner and wholesaler in the food, liquor and hardware industries. We provide our partners with strategic insight, purchasing, warehousing, distribution and systems support.

Our Business

While we may be large in size, we’ll always be locals at heart. Working hand in hand with the nation’s most trusted independent brands, we’re proud to connect locals with the products and produce they love most — all while reshaping the future of retail from the ground up.

As a Metcash Leader, you’ll have the opportunity to be part of something big. Our community of Metcash legends is dedicated to taking the big chains to task and making an impact for better. And, it’s our leaders who are the driving force behind it all. So roll up your sleeves, get stuck in and help us build a culture that embraces independence, empowers local communities and leads the way for a future that local, family-owned businesses will love to be part of.

Who We Are

We’re food, liquor and hardware people, united together by the simple belief that independence is worth fighting for. And with all the hands-on merchandising, operational and marketing support we offer, we’re excited to help our independent retailers become the best store in town.

Liquor

We might be nationwide, but at ALM, we still know how to keep it local. With tailored support for almost 2,700 stores across the country, we’re the leading supplier of independent liquor retailers and have been honing our craft for almost 100 years. And with some of the country’s most loved independent brands like Cellarbrations, The Bottle-O and Thirsty Camel as part of our Group, we’re giving local customers and retailers across Australia something to celebrate.

Food

At Metcash Food, we’re the power behind local business — proudly supplying over 1,600 independently owned stores in every corner of Australia. With a range of trusted independent brands like IGA, Foodland and Campbells, our stores sit at the hearts of their communities, providing locals with the products and homegrown produce they love most.

Hardware

At IHG, we’re strengthening local communities one postcode at a time. As the leading supplier of over 1,600 independently owned stores nationwide — we’re here to give our local heroes a competitive advantage to take the big chains to task. And with trusted hardware brands like Mitre 10 and Home Timber & Hardware in our true-blue portfolio, we can give locals the tools and support to build strong communities — literally!

Total Tools

For over 30 years, Total Tools has taken the tool industry by storm, powering independent businesses to deliver every tool for every trade. In 2020, we joined the Metcash group. From there it’s all about building the future, by powering the tradie with the best tools and advice every day. It’s about strong communities, supported by sustainable, independent, family owned businesses. And while we may now be part of something big, for us it’s always about our stores, and our customers, building the future.
