Performance Food (PFGC, $40.08) to buy Reinhart Foodservice for $2 billion
Food distribution company Performance Food Group has agreed to acquire privately held Reinhart Foodservice for $2 billion.
Reinhart’s revenue last year came in at more than $6 billion.
The deal could potentially catapult Performance Food’s position as one of the largest food distributors in the U.S. with approximately $30 billion in net sales. The merger is expected to generate around $50 million of annual run-rate cost synergies in three years.
The transaction has been approved by the board of directors of Performance Food Group and the governing body of Reinhart. It is subject to U.S. federal antitrust approval.
