Foodbuy Values

Realize Savings and Efficiencies

Much more than a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO), we help our Members realize savings and efficiencies by leveraging purchasing volume to negotiate manufacturer and distributor pricing. Here's how we do it.

Flexibility

We dedicate our vast purchasing power and scale to developing unique, tailored procurement solutions yielding maximal value for each of our members.

Optimism

No matter how challenging or demanding your business needs may seem to be, we maintain a positive outlook and high level of confidence at all times to make the deals happen.

Resourcefulness

Our size, experience, and expertise allows us to offer innovative and customized solutions.

Transparency

Unlike other GPOs, we are committed to full disclosure of the contracts we negotiate. You’ll know how much you’re saving, the details of your spend, and the scope of your opportunity.
