Descriptiontext

Siam Makro (แม็คโคร) is a Thailand-based membership cash-and-carry wholesaler and wholly-owned subsidiary of CP AXTRA Public Company Limited (BKK: MAOA), part of the Charoen Pokphand Group. Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Bangkok, the company operates 38 wholesale branches distributed across the Bangkok metropolitan area, northern, eastern, northeastern and southern Thailand, serving professional entrepreneurs, HoReCa operators (hotels, restaurants, catering), and small traditional retailers (โชห่วย / minimarts) with bulk food, beverage and consumer-goods purchasing.

The business is built on a platform-plus-modules architecture anchored by the physical warehouse estate and extended through digital channels — MakroClick for online ordering and delivery, Makro Pro for mobile B2B ordering and loyalty points, and Makro Mail as a weekly promotional catalog featuring 600+ items. Supporting programs include Chef's Club by Makro and the Makro HoReCa Academy for food-service customers, and the Mitr Tae Chohuay (มิตรแท้โชห่วย) small-retailer franchise initiative. A 12+ brand Makro House Brands portfolio (aro, Savepak, M&K, Pro Butcher, Ocean Gems, Sole Cafe, Selected, Petz Friend, Xtra, Q-BIZ, ไทยรวงข้าว, Quality Pro) manufactured to ISO, GMP and HACCP standards provides higher-margin proprietary SKUs.

Revenue is generated through wholesale product sales at bulk pricing to members, with e-commerce fulfillment and private-label sales as supplementary streams; pricing examples such as M&K cookies indicate roughly 50% gross margin potential on house-brand items. The company employs more than 10,000 people and runs supplementary community and direct farmer-sourcing programs that feed inventory into Makro and affiliated Lotus's channels.
