ARAMARK SERVICES, INC.
PHILADELPHIA, PA

Aramark Services, Inc., established by Davre Davidson in Los Angeles through a humble peanut-selling venture, has blossomed into a global powerhouse, offering top-notch food, facilities, and uniform services. Today, as a $15 billion entity traded on the New York Stock Exchange under ARMK, Aramark's dedication to service excellence enriches millions worldwide across 19 countries. They serve an impressive roster of clients, including Fortune 500 companies, leading healthcare institutions, esteemed educational establishments, and renowned sports teams. The company evolved significantly under Joseph Neubauer’s leadership when he assumed the role of CEO in 1983. His strategic management buyout in 1984 returned Aramark to private hands, steering clear of a hostile takeover. This pivotal move led to a name change from ARA Services to Aramark, reflecting its expanding service relationships and deep-rooted commitment to customer passion. Aramark has strategically expanded through key acquisitions like FilterFresh from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, enhancing office coffee services, and Masterplan, boosting healthcare capabilities with clinical technology management and medical equipment maintenance. Under CEO Eric J. Foss since 2012, Aramark has enjoyed robust sales growth, impressive new business generation, and improved profitability. With a global team of 270,000 Service Stars, Aramark stays ahead of the curve through continuous professional development and innovative service solutions. Their influence is further evidenced by their critical support during crises such as providing sustenance to Chilean miners in 2010 and aiding disaster relief efforts post-hurricanes Gustav and Ike in 2008. Based out of Nashville, Tennessee, Aramark's story-from its inception in Delaware-to today exemplifies innovation, resilience, and global impact.
