Miami sits at the head of a produce-distribution and Latin America-facing manufacturing corridor that runs through South Florida, and packaging machinery for filling and case-packing has to serve both ends of it. The city's Allapattah neighborhood holds the area's largest open-air food-distribution market, supplying grocers and bodegas across South Florida with fresh produce. One of the largest Hispanic-owned food manufacturers in the country operates a manufacturing and distribution facility nearby, which recently completed a $26 million expansion. A major beverage bottler and distributor runs bottling and distribution operations serving the Miami-Dade market, and the American arm of the world's largest privately held spirits company is headquartered in the area. Together, that mix makes Miami a hub for Latin America-facing consumer packaged goods and beverage headquarters.
A case study on our site follows a food producer that needed more packaging output as its order volume climbed, a jump this corridor's produce and CPG shippers keep running into. Mars Series VFFS baggers handle bagged produce, snack, and powder products moving through that food-distribution network, and automatic case packers carton bottles, cans, and pouches for shippers feeding the Miami-Dade beverage and CPG corridor. You ship into that corridor. We know how to fill and case it for the route you run. We have no building in Miami-Dade, and South Florida producers still get equipment sourced, integrated, and serviced directly through us. Our food and beverage industry page and VFFS and case-packer category pages cover specific machine configurations, our Florida location page covers what we serve across the state, and our solutions page covers how we scope a fill-and-case line for a produce or cold-chain shipper from first inquiry on.
