Talk:Sysco

message: Hello! I'm a Sysco employee with a conflict of interest, so I'm using the edit request system to ask for updates to the article. 
 
I noticed that the financial and employee figures in the infobox are from 2017. I've got the company's FY 2023 information, via our latest 10-K. They are as follows:
* Revenue: $76.3 billion
* Operating income: $3 billion
* Net income: $1.8 billion
* Total assets: $22.8 billion
* Total equity: $2 billion
* Number of employees: 72,000
 
 
If someone could update the infobox with these new figures, I'd very much appreciate it. Cheers! KM at Sysco (talk) 19:14, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

message: Hello! I noticed the History section isn't in great shape. It lacks information about the company before 1980 and doesn't have many citations. I've composed a new section draft that, among other things:
*Covers the company's founding and early history
*Adds citations to citation-free passages
*Deletes passages I couldn't find sourcing for
*Adds new information about notable acquisitions the company has made over the past ~20 years
*Fixes an error in the passage about electrifying the fleet (we're supposed to hit that target by 2030, not 2026)
Here is my section draft, with complete references:
===Founding and early history===
In 1966, Zero Foods owner John Baugh initiated discussions with the leaders of eight other food distribution companies about the prospect of forming one large corporation. The nine companies agreed to terms and formed Sysco in May of 1969. At the time of the merger, the total sales of the nine companies were approximately $115 million. In March 1970, Sysco held its initial public offering.
Sysco made its first acquisition in 1970, purchasing Arrow Foods Distributor. Between 1970 and 1980, the company continued to grow through the acquisition of 25 small food distributors. It also expanded its trucking fleet and constructed refrigerated warehouses for food storage. In 1980, Sysco recorded $1.2 billion in annual revenue. The following year, it moved its stock from the American Stock Exchange to the New York Stock Exchange. In 1985, Sysco was described in a New York Times report as "the nation's leading food service marketing and distribution company."
===Acquisitions and expansion===
In 1988, Sysco achieved nationwide coverage through its acquisition of the food distributor CFS Continental. By 1996, Sysco was the third-largest company in Houston and had over 30,000 employees.Hassel, Greg. "Sysco goes to court vs. RioStar/Chapter 7 sought for Ninfa's parent." Houston Chronicle. Friday October 18, 1996. Business 1. Retrieved on February 6, 2012. Sysco acquired Newport Meat in 1999, which at the time had sales of approximately $100 million per year. This was the company's first acquisition of a California company. Between 1995 and 2000, Sysco's annual sales increased from $12 billion to $19 billion.
In 2002, Sysco expanded into the Canadian market by purchasing SERCA Foodservices for $278 million. The following year, it acquired Asian Foods, which was then the largest Asian food distribution company in North America.
In 2009, Sysco made its first acquisition outside of North America, buying the Irish food distributor Pallas Foods. Continuing the expansion of their Irish offerings, in 2012, Sysco purchased Crossgar Foodservice for an undisclosed amount.
On December 9, 2013, Sysco announced they would acquire US Foods for a total of $3.5 billion. But on June 24, 2015, US Federal Judge Amit Mehta ruled that the combined Sysco-US Foods would control 75% of the U.S. food service industry and would stifle competition. On June 29, 2015, Sysco terminated its merger with US Foods.
In February 2016, Sysco announced that it was purchasing the Brakes Group for $3.1 billion. At the time, Brakes was serving about 50,000 restaurants, hotels, and schools across Europe.
In May 2021, Sysco acquired Greco and Sons, a distributor of Italian specialty food products. Later that year, Sysco purchased the fresh produce distributor The Coastal Companies for the purpose of supplementing both its fleet and its specialty produce business. In May 2022, after a year of testing, Sysco committed to the purchase of Freightliner eCascadia electric trucks, with the goal of electrifying 35% of its U.S. fleet by 2030.
In October 2023, Sysco announced that it was buying Edward Don & Company, a food service supplies and equipment distributor. This acquisition gave the company additional office and distribution space, as well as the ability to design and build kitchens for its customers.
I know I'm putting forward quite a lot of text and references for editors to look through. Thanks so much to whoever takes the time to review. If there's any way I can help the process go more smoothly, please let me know. Cheers! KM at Sysco (talk) 20:41, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
