And things stayed that way until an opportunity presented itself earlier this
year. It was announced on May 19 that
US Foods had agreed to acquire Freshway. It was a chance for the company to
take its next step and begin a relationship with an even larger operation.
Freshway Foods is
producing success

Freshway - still based in Sidney, OH,
where it was started by brothers Phil and
Frank Gilardi in 1988 - covers retailers
and foodservice providers in the eastern
half of the United States as a fresh fruit
and vegetable processor, repacker and
distributor. The company says that its
success has been a result of how it prides
itself on its expansive product offerings
and services.

Insight Insider:
reshway Foods has a simple saying when it comes to the number of products and services it
provides. "At Freshway Foods, we offer everything you need from A to Z,"
says Devon Beer, president and COO
of Freshway. "Or, another way to put it,
apples to zucchini."

Freshway had been owned by the Gilardi
family since its inception, and it wasn't
a traipse into unfamiliar family for Phil
and Frank. Members of the Gilardi family, after emigrating from Italy, had begun selling produce in Sidney and the
surrounding area in the last few years
of the 19th century. Years later, the family started a successful pizza restaurant
and then developed a line of frozen pizza
products. The pizza business separated
from the produce business in the 1970s
before Phil and Frank began Freshway
in the 80s.
"US Foods' success has been built upon a
commitment to the company's associates
and customers, and we are looking forward to the next chapter for Freshway as
part of a well-established and reputable
company like US Foods," Beer says. "US
Foods hopes to expand capability here
so there will possibly be more growth to
come in the future."
Beer says it was Freshway's hard work in
building a superb reputation in a thriving
and competitive industry that made the
company a prime target for US Foods.
"Freshway products have a great name
in the produce industry," he says. "They
are synonymous with quality and innovation. Acquiring Freshway Foods gave
US Foods the capability to process fresh
produce, which is the fastest growing
business in the food industry."
Size and ability
Freshway has carved out its spot in the
industry by being big and flexible, a
sometimes challenging combination.
"Freshway is large enough to offer a
broad variety of products and services,
yet we are nimble enough to react to the
