Freedman Distributors

The Freedman family has been in the meat business since the 1930’s. The business grew from a single truck operation to an international group of companies with combined annual sales of over $350 million.

The group of companies included: Freedman Distributors (a retail distribution company in Houston, Texas); Freedman Food Service (with processing facilities in Dallas and Houston, Texas); Texas Meat Purveyors (with processing facilities in Austin, San Antonio, and Harlingen, Texas); and Comercial Norteamericana (with facilities at seven locations in Mexico). In January, 2000, Sysco Foods purchased the Freedman Food Service and Texas Meat Purveyors divisions.

Our Mission

We will profitably provide quality products and superior service to our customers at competitive prices.

We will continue to be a leader in our industry, constantly striving to improve our performance.

We will accomplish our goals through the combined efforts of all employees working in a safe, healthy environment.

Company Profile

As meat specialists, we point to quality and service as the strengths of our company and deliver those strengths to many of the independent grocers in Texas and Louisiana.

Freedman has full time commodity buyers in Houston who focus all day, every day, on a specific product category to insure that we own our raw materials at the lowest possible price. The nearly four million pounds of product we buy weekly gives us the leverage we need to aid us in meeting our goal to stay competitive. This, coupled with the fact that we are skilled in forward pricing, helps you control your meat costs.

Of particular value to our customers is the range of products that we have available. The scope of the product line allows you to maximize efficiency in your distribution system.
