We're big all over
Here in the UK, we are Makro, a wholesaler serving the needs of independent businesses.Our unique focus on freshness makes us particularly attractive to traders in the hospitality, catering and restaurant industry.
Our 30 stores across the UK employ around 4,000 people, who are supported by our
Support Centre in Irlam, Manchester.
We’re big, we’re very big... we’ve also got the full support of the Metro Group behind us.
Metro Group is the world’s 4th largest retailer, delivering sales of €65.5 billion in 2009.
Around the globe, Metro Group employs 290,000 people in 2,100 locations across 33 countries.
Alongside Makro, our brands include Metro, Media Markt and Saturn, all of which are leaders in their respective markets. We also have Real, one of the leading hypermarket operators, and Galleria Kaufhof, the concept and system leader in its market.
Day after day, our sales brands develop even stronger trading skills and performance.
And we continue to evolve. One of our more recent, most exciting developments is Makro’s partnership with Palmer & Harvey in 'PalMak' – a new buying co-operation which will enable buyers from both companies to combine their negotiating strength to deliver better pricing for customers.
