Metro International

Metro International, a privately owned Swedish media company founded in 1995, publishes the free daily newspaper Metro. Employing approximately 750 people, the company's core business involves distributing ad-supported newspapers focusing on concise news, sports, and entertainment summaries. Targeting young, urban commuters, the papers are primarily distributed in high-traffic areas. While initially operating across Europe, Metro International has since divested its European holdings and currently focuses its operations in North and South America, with editions in various countries including Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia.
