Hollywood was platted in the 1920s as a planned resort community, and for a century its economy ran on tourism and hospitality rather than the kind of factory floor that needs packaging automation. That history still shows in the city's largest employers, which skew toward healthcare and hospitality rather than heavy industry. What has changed is the pet-care side of the ledger: one of Hollywood's top three employers today is a major pet-products e-commerce and distribution company with roughly 1,200 people on staff, moving dog treats, kibble, and other pet goods through the city at a volume the resort-era planners never anticipated. An aerospace-parts manufacturer also ranks among the top-ten employers, evidence that some precision manufacturing has taken root here too. Pet care is the clearer fit.

We build Mars series VFFS baggers that form and fill bags for kibble by the pallet, and EcoBagger and RotoBagger lines that load pre-formed pouches for single-serve treats and wet food, all covered on our pet-care industry page. Whatever's moving through your catalog this week, we can bag or pouch it fast enough to hold your fulfillment schedule together. Dog treat packaging in particular tends to need flexible changeover, since a distributor moving product for multiple pet brands rarely runs one size or format all day. Our Florida coverage page and our solutions overview cover how a distribution operation can add a packaging line without disrupting the fulfillment schedule it already runs on. Hollywood was planned for tourists; it ended up moving pet-product truckloads instead.
