"Vistar is thrilled to gain the skills, background and experiences that Tom brings to the table," comments George Holm, president and ceo of Vistar. "His expertise will prove invaluable as we position ourselves for growth in the fast-paced away-from-home foodservice segment."
The pizza, vending and systems distributor was formed in September 2002 through a buyout of the Multifoods Distribution Group from International Multifoods Corp. by Wellspring Capital Management LLC, a New York-based private equity investment firm. A member of Atlanta-based UniPro, Vistar rang up approximately $2.3 billion in foodservice sales last year.
