Many restaurant-goers in the US can thank this company for the food on their plates. US Foods (formerly U.S. Foodservice), is the nation's #2 food service supplier (with about half the sales of rival Sysco), distributing food and nonfood supplies to more than 250,000 customers. The company's 75-plus distribution facilities supply over 350,000 products to restaurants, hotels, schools, health care facilities, and institutional food service operators. In addition to food items and ingredients, US Foods distributes kitchen and cleaning supplies and restaurant equipment. Tracing its roots to 1853, private equity firms KKR & Co. and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice own the company. The company filed an IPO in 2016 and raised $1.02 billion in proceeds.
