METRO is the world's No. 1 Cash & Carry system business.METRO
came to China in 1995 in cooperation with the famous Jinjiang
Group, establishing METRO Jinjiang Cash & Carry Co.,
Ltd. In 1996, METRO opened its first store in Shanghai,
and had tremendous success from the very beginning, bringing
a new business concept to China
METRO was the first joint venture to gain permission from
the China Central Government to set up chain stores in
all major cities in China. METRO's arrival has filled
up the commercial vacancy and contributed a lot to China,
such as strict adherence to the country's laws, payment
of high taxes to the local government and more employment
and professional training to improve the local economy.
METRO attracts many other investments and improves the
district's economy. The advanced distribution system supports
the development of small and medium enterprises.
METRO attracts many customers from outside
the city as well as introducing local products into the
domestic market via METRO's national distribution. Also
this drives Chinese products into the international market
via METRO's international distribution system.
In the year 2002, we established four
Business Units in North, East, South and Central China.
The target is to be as close as possible to our customers,
suppliers and employees and to speed up our expansion
pace in China. |
