In plain English
Sysco is the invisible middleman behind the meal you eat out: the largest foodservice distributor on Earth, it buys food, drinks, paper and kitchen kit from thousands of farms and brands, warehouses it in a vast cold-chain network, and trucks it to roughly 730,000 restaurants, hospitals, schools and hotels. After US regulators blocked its ~$8.2B bid for rival US Foods in 2015, it grew instead through tuck-ins like Europe's Brakes Group and a string of US specialty distributors.
