Dedicated to the wholesale business in Portugal, Makro has created a center focused on training and education in the company's area of activity: retail and distribution. This is a completely innovative concept within the Portuguese wholesale sector. With this center, the company aims to provide its employees with all the necessary tools to become "experts" in their respective departments, knowledgeable about the market and able to advise their clients.
For its clients, especially entrepreneurs and businesses in the hospitality and restaurant industry, the company wants this center to be a place where they can discover Portugal and Portuguese gastronomy, its techniques, flavors, and ingredients.
Marta Rocha, Head of Human Resources at Makro Portugal, shares that “ Makropedia aims to function as a knowledge-sharing center for Makro employees, customers, and partners nationwide. With this investment, which involved the reconfiguration of our Alfragide store, we now offer a space entirely dedicated to the diverse dynamics of the wholesale and distribution sector nationwide. A space of this size and with the dynamism it will have is unique in the sector in Portugal. Once again, Makro is anticipating and offering its employees, customers, and partners something very particular and unique in the market .”
