CP AXTRA is a leading retail and wholesale operator in Thailand, best known for Makro and Lotus's. With decades of experience in building strong supply chains, serving business customers, and advancing retail innovation, the company has grown from a domestic leader into a regional force within ASEAN.
Our expansion into international markets focuses on economies where modern trade infrastructure and B2B support can elevate business ecosystems. The Philippines plays a strategic role in this journey, driven by strong economic growth and a rapidly expanding retail and food service sector.
To establish a strong and locally rooted presence, CP AXTRA has formed CP AXTRA AC Corporation in partnership with ACX Holdings, part of Ayala Corporation—one of the Philippines most respected conglomerates. Through this collaboration, we are bringing Makro back to the Philippine market and investing in digital advancement, talent development, and operational capabilities across both Thailand and the Philippines.
Joining CP AXTRA AC Corporation means becoming part of a regional expansion story—building modern wholesale platforms, empowering Filipino enterprises, and shaping the future of retail across ASEAN.
