Region. Metcash to expand

The board of food wholesaler Metcash has decided to establish a "mega-distribution centre" in Western Sydney adding to its centres in Silverwater and Blacktown. The company is yet to choose from two locations for the centre. "Over the next 12 to 18 to 24 months, we will slowly, slowly move dry, frozen, chilled, liquor, convenience store distribution onto the mega-distribution centre," Metcash CEO, Andrew Reitzer, said.
