One Miramar company distributes ice cream and frozen and refrigerated products to roughly 300 grocery stores and chains across 22 states, running cold-storage and distribution operations entirely out of a base founded here in 1958. That kind of multi-state cold-chain reach doesn't happen without packaging automation built for volume and consistency, and it's one signal of how deep Miramar's food and beverage distribution roots run. A national cookie brand's distribution operation was an early tenant of the Miramar Park of Commerce, occupying a 37,000-square-foot freestanding building since 1986, and the industrial park around it has grown into 540 acres and more than 5.5 million square feet housing over 170 companies.

One of Florida's largest wine and spirits distributors also runs an active distribution facility in Miramar, adding beverage volume to a city whose light-industrial base already leans hard toward food and beverage logistics. You know how fast that cold chain has to move; PLAN IT knows how to keep a packaging line running at the same pace, with the regional picture on our Florida location page and the industry fit on our food and beverage industry page. PLAN IT isn't located in Miramar, but the cold-chain volume moving through it calls for equipment built to that scale: Mars Series VFFS baggers for portioning snack and frozen items into sealed bags, automatic case packers and case erectors for getting product into shipping cases without added labor, and PackMaster cobot palletizers for stacking pallets consistently across shifts, all built so your line doesn't slow down when volume climbs. Cold chain doesn't wait. The VFFS machine category and automatic case packer lineup cover the equipment itself, and our solutions page has the rest.
