About Us

Sysco Albany was formed in 1933 as The Albany Frosted Foods when Herbert K. Liebich began selling frozen vegetables to restaurants in the area. The business ran out of a small retail store in Elsmere, NY and the vegetables were packed by the original developer of frozen foods, the Bird’s Eye Company. Business was conducted by taking an order one week and delivering it on a “Peddler” truck the following week. Incorporated in June of 1936, Albany Frosted Foods is the oldest, continuously operating frozen food distribution company in the United States.

 

Over the years, the business grew and evolved along with the needs of the industry. In 1961, the company moved from downtown Albany to Warehouse Row (Fuller Road) in Colonie, New York. Albany Frosted Foods, Inc. joined Sysco Corporation of Houston, Texas, in September 1970 as one of the original 8 Sysco Houses. In 2001, Sysco Albany moved into their new 400,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility located 60 acres in Halfmoon, New York.

 

Today, Sysco Albany has approximately 400 employees, over 100 suppliers including local suppliers (within a 200 mile radius of our facility) and an average of 3800 active customers over 5 states including NY, VT, MA, CT and NJ.
