METRO Own brands: Quality meets price advantage

What´s it all about?

Hello METRO, why are your own brands cheaper than comparable brands while offering the same quality?

Hello METRO,
why are your own brands cheaper than comparable brands while offering the same quality?

Own brands promise excellent prices with comparable quality – but how is it possible to be cheaper than well-known A-brands? Here’s how METRO’s professional customers benefit:

• Direct sourcing without intermediaries

Own brands deliver the best price per category. By working closely with selected producers and skipping intermediaries, costs for customers are significantly reduced.

• Focus on performance instead of marketing

With regular testing and certifications, METRO ensures consistently high quality. Unlike big-name brands, own brands avoid spending on marketing or brand development, allowing more focus on performance and quality.

• Large production volumes

METRO’s extensive customer base and international reach enable large-scale own-brand production and procurement. This reduces production costs per unit, delivering even greater savings.

• Tailored solutions for restaurateurs

Designed with restaurateurs in mind, METRO’s own brands feature bulk packaging instead of small, single-use options. This minimizes material use, reduces waste and further lowers costs.

More than 35% ...

... of total sales are expected to come from own-brand products by 2030. This ambitious target is part of METRO’s growth strategy, sCore.

Customer benefit

On average, METRO own brands are 15%–20% cheaper than comparable branded products.
