METRO own brands: Specialist needs under one roof

In its portfolio, METRO has a range of own brands that are perfectly tailored to the needs of its customers. Delicacies from Fine Life, kitchen equipment from METRO Professional, all about coffee from Rioba or furnishings and furniture from Tarrington House – the METRO own brands offer customers high-quality products.

The range is popular, as shown by the upward trend in the share of sales generated by own brands. While in 2020/21 the share of sales was 17 per cent, it had already grown by two per cent in the following year. In financial year 2023/24, it will be 24%.

The star players of METRO own brands

Lots of METRO products are bestsellers. Here are six stars from the METRO own brand range:

👉🏼 METRO Chef Gateaux au Chocolat has been a smash hit for years. The little cake that transforms into a chocolate volcano in less than a minute in the microwave saves valuable time in busy kitchens for the preparation of delicious desserts. Also available with different fillings, such as chocolate and caramel, or white chocolate.

👉🏼 For roasting, frying or marinating, rapeseed oil is a versatile option in the kitchen. In 2021 alone, METRO sold 1.8 million 10-litre bottles of Aro rapeseed oil. This makes it one of the most sought-after products in the food sector.

👉🏼 With over 4 million cans sold per year, METRO Professional Chafing Dish Fuel is at the top of our bestseller list. The lighting gel burns without smoke or odour so is perfectly suited to every event where food must be kept warm for a while. Each 200g can burns for around three hours – by which time the food being kept warm has often long been eaten.

👉🏼 The Italian hard cheese range from METRO Chef can count on flavour from Italy. It includes Parmigiano Reggiano and Grana Padano in various maturity ratings and sizes. The products are manufactured from 100% Italian milk and are matured in Italy. As antipasti or paired with other ingredients as the crowning glory of a meal; grated, shaved or in a block – the cheese from this product range fits perfectly in every Italian dish or on any cheeseboard.

👉🏼 When does a hungry guest want their chips? As every restaurateur knows – right now! Our top selling METRO professional deep fryer GDF3008 is the most highly-prized appliance for reducing waiting times to a minimum. With a capacity of eight litres, it can fry 800g of frozen chips in just five minutes. Professional chefs also love its other functions: the tap for easy oil drainage, the cold zone for protection and the comfortable, heatproof handle.

👉🏼 In countless businesses, copy paper is the unsung hero behind the scenes. And the fact that our Aro copy paper is among our absolute bestsellers in our non-food range proves that customers love the reliable simplicity of this item. With basic quality at an attractive price, customers get the right tool for printing and copying – or even for scribbling their next business ideas.
