Packaging equipment buyers in Palm Bay look a little different from our typical food and beverage customer. The city's largest private employer today is an aerospace and defense-electronics company running a campus that includes a 464,000-square-foot technology center built in 2015, and a semiconductor maker has also kept a major workforce here; the city was ranked the 11th most innovative city in the U.S. in 2010 on the strength of that precision-manufacturing base. It's a newer identity for a place that made its name in food production. Early 20th-century Palm Bay was citrus groves and truck farms, shipping winter produce north by rail from land the Melbourne-Tillman Drainage District reclaimed with a canal system starting in 1922.

We still see Palm Bay as food and beverage territory, just from a wider lens. The citrus and truck-farm economy that built the region is part of Palm Bay's own history, even though today's largest employers sit in aerospace and electronics. Our Mars Series VFFS machines handle the bagging work for your produce, snack, and beverage-adjacent products, while automatic case packers take on the casing and palletizing volume that citrus and food shippers need to move product efficiently. Your engineers already work to defense-grade tolerances; we hold a packaging line to the same standard. That precision carries over. The VFFS and case-packing details live across three pages: our Florida location page, our food and beverage industries page, and our solutions page, built for growers, packers, and processors working the Space Coast.
