US Foods Holding Corp. USFD

Company Overview

US Foods Holding Corp. is one of the largest foodservice distributors in the United States, serving restaurants, healthcare and hospitality providers, government and educational institutions, and retail channels. The company operates within the food distribution and supply chain management industry, primarily generating revenue through the sourcing, marketing, and distribution of fresh, frozen, dry, and non-food products. Its customer base includes independent restaurants, regional chains, healthcare facilities, hotels, country clubs, and other institutional foodservice operators.

The company’s primary revenue drivers are its broadline foodservice distribution operations, private-label product offerings, and value-added services such as menu consulting, inventory tools, and digital ordering platforms. US Foods traces its roots to multiple legacy foodservice businesses dating back to the 19th century, with the modern company formed through consolidations involving organizations such as John Sexton & Company and institutional food distributors acquired over several decades. The company was formerly owned by private equity sponsors before returning to public markets through an initial public offering in 2016. Its competitive positioning is supported by nationwide logistics infrastructure, scale purchasing power, extensive distribution capabilities, and a diversified customer portfolio.
