HOUSTON and NEW YORK, Oct. 14, 2025 -- Sysco (NYSE: SYY), the global leader in selling, marketing and distributing food and related products to customers who prepare meals away from home, and Kyndryl (NYSE: KD), a leading provider of mission-critical enterprise technology services, today announced that Kyndryl has been named Sysco's inaugural Tech Partner of the Year.

Through the partnership, Kyndryl's work progresses initiatives to create a simpler, more flexible technology foundation that supports Sysco in providing uninterrupted delivery of food and supplies to thousands of restaurants, hotels, hospitals, schools and other customers every day.
"Kyndryl has been instrumental in our multiyear ERP upgrade. They continue to bring forward targeted, relevant opportunities aligned to our priorities. Their work has allowed us to accelerate our IT roadmap while reducing operating costs.
