Superior Farms received the Sysco Denver Silver Supplier Award recently. The annual award is based on sales growth, visibility, engagement, support of the Sysco sales team, and marketing contribution.

“We are thrilled to be considered for this category and win,” said Craig Powell, vice-president of sales and marketing for Superior Farms. “We know we have a great product, but it’s equally important to us that we be a good partner to our customers.”

Vivian Brooks, category manager for Sysco Denver, said, “Superior Farms is a Colorado company that we have a long-term relationship with. Because of their location they are able to provide us with many unique options and deliver the freshest lamb product to us several times a week. Their local sales team has built a great working relationship with merchandising, and offer outstanding support with training and samples to our sales force.”

Superior Farms increased case growth by 10% in the 2011 fiscal year with Sysco. This is the first time it has been awarded a supplier award by the foodservice distributor. It was considered among all perishable protein companies.

With an emphasis on lamb products, Superior Farms provides products and services throughout the United States, Canada, and more than 10 nations. The firm has about 400 employee-owners at more than five facilities and offices.
