PROFILE |
 |
Metcash Trading Limited is up against a pair of Goliaths in Australia's escalating grocery distribution war. Although it is a leading independent distributor, the company (formerly Davids) faces stiff competition from supermarket operators Coles Myer and Woolworths. Following its 72% acquisition by South Africa's Metro Cash & Carry in 1998, Metcash has sold or closed its company-owned stores to focus on wholesaling. More than 1,200 independent stores served by Metcash have been renamed under its IGA banner. The company also runs John Lewis Food Service, Campbells Cash and Carry stores, Australian Liquor Marketers, and grocery distributor MC International Australia.
