Australian grocery wholesaler Metcash said on Friday it will close its underperforming Campbells Cash & Carry wholesale distribution businesses, merging parts of it with another wholesale division in a restructure expected to cost AUD10.8 million (USD9.8 million) after tax.
Metcash said it will close eight of the business’s 20 warehouses due to a combination of reduced turnover and fixed network costs, which has resulted in them no longer being viable. It will merge the rest of the business with its Campbells Wholesale business.
