ment throughout

Productivity
Sysco has a longstanding commitment, and

We are using this expertise to build additional
eciencies into our operations, as well as
developing a highly ecient end-to-end
supply chain.
Expansion
A considerable portion of Sysco’s historic
growth has come from acquiring good
companies with extraordinary people that
complement or expand the footprint of our
core business. In fiscal 2013, we continued
that tradition by acquiring 14 businesses
with more than $1 billion in annualized
sales in the United States, Canada, the
Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland
and the Bahamas. We are also rolling out
a new brand strategy in New York City
aimed at growing our business in this
important market.
