2015 Distribution Giants

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

2015 Distribution GiantsSales among the top 100 foodservice equipment and supplies dealers increased 8.9 percent to $7.2 billion in 2014, according to FE&S' 2015 Distribution Giants study. Despite this growth, 27 percent of the top 100 dealers reported a decline in annual sales.

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. It 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 study 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 and if you have any suggestions about how to improve the study do not hesitate to contact us.
