About us
At Metcash, we’re the power behind an independent Australia & New Zealand. From the humble origins of our first family-owned corner store in 1927, we’ve been backing independents and strengthening the communities they operate in for almost 100 years. With a national network of more than 10,000 independent retailers and a further 90,000 wholesalers, we’re the driving force behind local, family-owned businesses – sticking up for the little guys and helping them become the best stores in town. And while we may be large in size, we’ll always be locals at heart. Today we’re Australia and New Zealand’s leading independent retail partner and wholesaler in food, liquor and hardware. We have over 80 years of experience supporting and championing the interests of independent grocery, liquor and hardware sectors. Headquartered in Sydney, our world class distribution facilities across the country allow us to operate on a huge scale to unite Australia's independent grocers, delivering products to more than 10,000 retail premises and a further 90,000 wholesale customers across the food, grocery, liquor and hardware markets. Our network of Successful Independents includes a large portfolio of brands such as IGA, Foodland, Mitre 10, Home Timber & Hardware, Cellarbrations and the Bottle-O. At Metcash we have a single purpose - Successful Independents - it is at the heart of everything we do. Success starts with our people. Employing over 6,000 people, Metcash champions the interests of the independent retail industry. We are a team of people who are resilient and empowered, who take initiative and pride in their work and above all operate with integrity. Our core operations are key to providing our customers and retailers with merchandising, operations and marketing support through our strong retail brands. Whilst we operate on a huge scale, we think big but we act local. We believe that independence is worth fighting for and this is at the core of our business divisions.

As proud partners of End Food Waste Australia, we’re supporting #TheGreatUnwaste to help Aussies reduce food waste at home. Did you know that Aussie households throw out almost 2.5 million tonnes of food each year, and over half of the food wasted is edible? Join the movement to turn food waste around, save food (and money!) Let’s work together to help halve food waste by 2030.

We're excited to share the new brand campaign for IGA, ‘You Can’t Beat Local’! This new campaign is helping support our independent retailers by flipping what local means on its head, and is loudly and proudly celebrating the ‘home ground advantages’ of shopping at IGA. Because not only do we stock the everyday essentials that our local shoppers need, we have hidden gems you can't get anywhere else. Add to that our handy IGA store locations, specials that are actually special to shoppers, and price matching on the products that count, you really can't beat local for range, ease and value!

This week, we had the incredible honour of welcoming Glenn McGrath and his amazing team of McGrath Breast Care Nurses to Metcash HQ! We’re excited to share that through our Community Chest program, the McGrath Foundation campaign kicks off in IGA stores on October 9th, running for three weeks. During this time, 1 cent from every product sold that is in our catalogue will go to support the McGrath Foundation, helping fund their vital work. A special shoutout to our hero partners—Unilever, Masterfoods, Wonder, Praise, Huggies, Poise, and U by Kotex—who are generously contributing 5 or 10 cents per product from their ranges. 🙌💕 The McGrath Foundation provides McGrath Breast Care Nurses who offer critical support to individuals and families facing breast cancer. We’re incredibly proud to be celebrating 15 years of partnership with the Foundation, raising an amazing $3.5 million to date! 🌸 #McGrathFoundation #CommunityChest #BreastCancerAwareness #PartOfSomethingBigger

As champions for independents, we're passionate about working with suppliers with rich local histories. Last week, some of our Metcash team members in South Australia were treated to a Lobster Day hosted by Ferguson Australia where they experienced firsthand the care and quality they put into their products. Ferguson Australia are an incredible story in the seafood industry, starting as a family business in 1969 and growing into an industry leader through their commitment to sustainable fishing practices. A special thanks to Andrew Ferguson, Kate Birch, and Calinda Griffiths for their excellent service and for making our team feel very welcome. #LobsterDay #SeafoodLovers #FreshAndQuality #SupportLocalBusiness #PartOfSomethingBigger

Today is R U OK? Day, but at Metcash, we believe every day is a chance to ask "R U OK?" Mental health is a priority for us, and we’re proud to support our team with more than 5% of our workforce trained as accredited Mental Health First Aiders. In addition, we’re excited to offer our team members access to our brand new EAP provider, Converge International, along with a range of Health and Wellbeing Benefits to help ensure proactive support is always available. Creating a Psychosocially Safe Workplace means caring for one another daily, so everyone can return home to what matters most. A special shout-out to our Metcash QLD team for supporting Matt Hockings from Ritchies IGA. Matt is embarking on an incredible journey, riding 2,000 km in just 10 days to raise awareness and funds for R U OK? With the team’s $3,000 donation, we’re right behind Matt as he cycles from Upper Coomera down the East Coast to Sydney and then onto Carrum Downs in Southern Victoria. Go Matt! #RUOKDay #MentalHealthSupport #PartOfSomethingBigger #MentalHealthFirstAid #PsychosocialSafety
