SYSCO INTERMOUNTAIN
Being our customer’s most valued and trusted business partner.
Sysco Intermountain strives to be its customers’ most
valued and trusted business partner. Our mission of
marketing and delivering great products while providing
exceptional service is at the heart of what we do. Throughout
its history, Sysco has built its reputation on providing
quality products, unmatched service, strong relationships,
outstanding operations and logistics, and sound financials.
The company employs associates who live in communities
across its distribution area. The high retention level
and tenure of associates speaks to the quality of career
experience offered. The team of talented and creative
foodservice professionals is dedicated to making sure
customers get what they need, when they need it. This
starts by listening and being responsive to customers’
needs, while focusing on making every experience easy
and enjoyable.
Over the past four decades, Sysco has grown to encompass
more than 180 local operating companies with approximately
47,000 employees in the United States, Canada and
throughout the world. The common goal of all—from broad

to provide the best quality, variety and value for every
customer, every day, everywhere.
“We live, work, play and dine in the communities we

programs for hunger relief and general community
outreach, as well as agricultural and environmental sustainability.

company and our culture, we continuously dedicate efforts
toward enhancing the quality of life in the communities
where Sysco associates live and work.”
