BANGKOK -- Thailand's largest conglomerate Charoen Pokphand Group will reorganize and merge operating companies of its Lotus's and Makro retail chains to create a stronger entity as the group eyes overseas markets.

The merger of the two hypermarket owners will help CP Group plot a more efficient growth strategy while giving the merged entity more clout when it launches overseas.
