In 1991, six independent foodservice distributors joined together to achieve a competitive advantage through consolidated purchasing, collective marketing and networking. The founders called the initiative “Produce Regional Operators Advancing Cooperative Trade.” Now, most people just know us as PRO*ACT.Today, the PRO*ACT family is more than 50 members strong and our collective power is impressive:
- 71 distribution centers
- 3.5 million square feet of warehouse space
- 1,950 distribution trucks
- 2.6 million miles of coast-to-coast distribution
