Introduction

Kenco Foodservice, Inc. has recognized that the food service industry is in a continual state of transformation and that the successful broker organization must address the ever-changing needs of customers, both at the end-user and at the distributor level.

With this in mind, we have designed our sales organization into several teams that are both structured and flexible.  A team's responsibility may include calling on both the distributor and the key accounts served by that distributor.  Each team member also serves as a liaison for at least one of our manufacturers.

Recognizing a significant area of growth for the future is in Contract Compliance and National and Regional Chain accounts, we have one person - Marvin Miller - dedicated solely to this important segment.  Compass, Sodexho, Premier, Novation, Skippers, I-Hop, Ivars, Starwood, and Avendra are just a few of the many multi-unit operators we work with on a daily basis.
