Sysco San Diego, Inc.

THE QUICK READ

Sysco San Diego distributes food and supplies from a warehouse on Kirkham Road in Poway, California, delivering to restaurants, hotels, schools, and hospitals across the San Diego region. The facility went through an expansion that increased its footprint by 40 percent, with construction completed while the distribution center stayed fully operational. About 350 workers handle receiving, cold storage, and order picking, and the site's ammonia refrigeration system holds roughly 24,000 pounds, above the 10,000-pound federal threshold that triggers a process safety management program. Poway is a city of about 48,700 people in northeast San Diego County, known locally as "The City in the Country" for the open space that covers more than half of its 39 square miles.
