2016 Distribution Giants

The industry's longest-running study of the top 100 foodservice equipment and supplies dealers by sales volume.

distribution-giants-2016Sales among the top 100 foodservice equipment and supplies dealers increased 11.3 percent to $8 billion in 2015, according to FE&S’ 2016 Distribution Giants study. Seventy-four percent of dealers reported increased sales and 16 percent reported a decline in sales, which is 8 percentage points better than last year.

As the foodservice equipment and supplies industry’s original and most comprehensive look at the dealer community’s performance, this study does more than chronicle sales growth. FE&S’ Distribution Giants study helps members of the dealer community benchmark their progress against that of their peers. For the operators and consultants, it provides a different context to view supply chain partners. Further, FE&S’ Distribution Giants also serves as a key indicator of the foodservice equipment and supplies industry’s general economic health and allows a look back to measure industry performance in recent years.

We hope that you find the information useful. If you have any suggestions about how to improve the study do not hesitate to contact us.
