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.

Industry description

Food distributors function as intermediaries between food manufacturers and food service operators (such as chefs, restaurants, beverage managers, cafeterias, industrial caterers, hospitals and nursing homes). Food distribution companies buy, store and then supply food items to the food service operators, thereby allowing the latter to have access to a wide range of food items from various manufacturers. Sysco Corporation, US Foods Holding Corp. and Herbalife Nutrition Ltd. are some of the biggest (by market cap) U.S. companies in this segment. Most food service operators buy from local, specialty, and/or broad line food service distributors on a daily or weekly basis. With the rise in e-commerce, consumers are increasingly expecting lower prices, faster service, and higher quality – something that potentially creates the impetus on distribution networks to raise their game.
