 METRO Cash & Carry is an international
self-service wholesaler.
 Metro operates across Europe and in
some countries of Asia and Northern
Africa. It is the largest sales division of
the German trade.
As of February 2015, METRO Cash &
Carry is operating over 750 stores in 27
countries
 METRO Group is given a new corporate structure. The chief
aspect is the split of Metro Cash & Carry into two business units –
Europe/MENA, managed by Joël Saveuse, and Asia/New Markets,
managed by Frans Muller. The new structure reflects the great
importance Metro Cash & Carry has within the Group, and takes
into account the considerably different regional market
requirements. Furthermore, the organisational basis strengthens the
successful implementation of the Shape programme, as well as the
acceleration of the international expansion in the medium term. At
the same time, METRO Group’s management organisation will be
significantly simplified. The management and administrative
functions at the Group’s holding company, METRO AG, and at
Metro Cash & Carry are to be, to a large extent, integrated.
 I choose METRO Cash & Carry, because this
company will constantly expand international
footprint. Offering to me the opportunity to
join on the journey – while developing my
skills and making the most of my talents.
