  • "There is great potential for growth in our FSD companies"
    2025/03/12
    The METRO's highway to growth is called Food Service Distribution (FSD). In the past financial year, we have already stepped on the gas here and increased our delivery sales to almost €8 billion – that is already more than a quarter of METRO's total sales. But what is behind this success? In addition to METRO's own delivery service, specialised delivery services play a decisive role. These culinary experts serve specific customer segments – from fine dining to large-scale gastronomy – and are also on a growth path. In our new episode of our MORE Podcast, I talk to Julius Osthues, Vice President FSD Portfolio Management at METRO AG, and we take a closer look at these ‘specialists’ and their role in METRO's FSD strategy. What makes them so special? How do they differ? And what can each learn from the other? You can only find out here in the MORE Podcast!
