Performance Food Group Company has filed an amended S-1 form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its initial public offering (IPO). No terms were given in this filing but the offering is valued up to $100 million in revenue, but this number usually just acts as a placeholder. The company intends to file on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PFGC.
The underwriters for the offering are Credit Suisse, Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley and Barclays.
This is the third largest player by revenue in the growing $240 billion U.S. foodservice distribution industry, which supplies the diverse $640 billion U.S. “food-away-from-home” industry. The company markets and distributes about 150,000 food and food-related products from 68 distribution centers to over 150,000 customer locations across the United States.
Performance Food serves a diverse mix of customers, from independent and chain restaurants to schools, business and industry locations, hospitals, vending distributors, office coffee service distributors, big-box retailers and theaters. It sources its products from over 5,000 suppliers and serves as an important partner to suppliers by providing them access to its broad customer base.
Over 12,000 employees work across its three segments: Performance Foodservice, PFG Customized and Vistar.
