Its biggest product groups are fresh and frozen meats, canned and dry goods, and frozen produce and baked goods. Customers order through Sysco sales representatives or online, and Sysco delivers from distribution centers across North America and Europe, earning money on the difference between what it pays suppliers and what customers pay for delivered goods.
