Sysco is the Nation’s largest food service marketing and distribution company. Sysco markets more than 150,000 food and related items to more than 420,000 customers through 172 distribution centers. Each day, over one-half of the meals in America are eaten away from home in facilities such as restaurants, cafeterias, hospitals, colleges and factories. Sysco is privileged to supply one of every ten of those meals.
Sysco’s history in New York can be traced back to 1933, when Herbert Liebich sold the first food service frozen products delivered by the Bird’s Eye Company. In 1970, Mr. Liebich’s company, Albany Frosted Foods, joined Sysco Corporation. The two New York distribution centers in Albany and Syracuse are part of 60 centers serving the entire continental United States.
Sysco Syracuse distributes over 10,000 items, consisting of meat, poultry, seafood, produce, dairy, frozen, beverage, dry and canned food products, as well as a wide variety of non-food wares such as paper plates, napkins, soaps and detergents, cleaning chemicals, silverware, cooking utensils, chinaware and healthcare.
Our business is to deliver the kinds of goods and services our customers want, in the proper condition, and at the time required. This is accomplished most effectively through the interdependent cooperation of all our employees - our most valuable asset.
