FreshPoint, Inc.
 PROFILE
Eating veggies isn't just good for your body, it's good for FreshPoint, too. The company, a subsidiary of food service giant SYSCO, is one of the top fruit and vegetable distributors in the nation. It owns more than 25 distribution facilities in North America. Operations involve food service and retail distribution, wholesale supply, procurement, and transportation to such customers as restaurants, hotels, cruise ships, and grocery stores. FreshPoint gained independence when UK-based Albert Fisher sold its US distribution business to management in 1996. After a planned 1999 merger with rival Fresh America failed, SYSCO bought FreshPoint in 2000.
