The SYSCO Story:  Building customer relationships requires time, effort and sincerity. For SYSCO, it began with a promise to assist foodservice operators in providing consumers with solutions for meals consumed away from home.

 

Since the initial public offering in 1970, when sales were $115 million, SYSCO - an acronym for Systems and Services Company - has grown to $35 billion in sales for fiscal year 2007.

 

Many solid customer relationships have been nurtured along the way, countless dining trends and meal alternatives have evolved, and today the decision to consume meals prepared away from home is as much necessity as choice.

 

In 1977 SYSCO surpassed its competitors to become the leading supplier to "meals-prepared-away-from-home" operations in North America. Since then, the industry it serves has expanded from $35 billion to more than $200 billion.

 

Today, SYSCO has sales and service relationships with approximately 400,000 customers and remains committed to helping them succeed in the foodservice industry and satisfy consumers’ appetites.
