Metcash has entered a long-term agreement to supply nearly 1,000 products to Ampol Australia’s 600 company-owned Foodary stores nationwide.
As part of this partnership, Metcash will provide a diverse range of ambient products, including confectionery, beverages, crisps, pantry staples, health and beauty essentials, pet care items, and general merchandise.
Enhancing Supply Chain Efficiency
This collaboration benefits both companies, with Metcash gaining increased distribution volume and Ampol Foodary accessing competitive pricing, an extensive product range, and expert supply chain support. Leveraging its national logistics infrastructure, Metcash ensures seamless operations across Ampol’s retail network.
Expanding Logistics Capabilities
Metcash will utilise its well-established distribution network, including its new Truganina facility in Victoria. The company’s supply chain can efficiently manage national distribution, handling products in various formats and across all temperature zones—ambient, chilled, and frozen.
Exploring Private-Label Opportunities
Discussions are underway regarding the introduction of Metcash’s private-label brands, Community Co and Black & Gold, into Ampol Foodary stores. This expansion would provide customers with more affordable product choices while strengthening Ampol’s retail offering.
A Trusted Partner in Convenience Retail
Metcash continues to position itself as a leading wholesale partner in the convenience sector. Beyond food and grocery, its product range includes health and beauty, general merchandise, tobacco, and alcohol. With advanced retail support solutions, such as electronic data interchange (EDI) and an online ordering portal, Metcash ensures a streamlined supply process for its partners.
This agreement reinforces Metcash’s commitment to delivering cost-effective, efficient, and reliable wholesale services across Australia’s retail landscape.
