Pompano Beach takes its name from a fish that shows up on menus across the Southeast, a firm silvery catch that made this stretch of coastline a fishing draw before it was even a city. Incorporated in 1908, a decade after the railway put a station here, Pompano Beach built its early economy on that same instinct: get fresh product moving fast before it turns. That hasn't changed. Packaging automation is the modern version of that same problem, and it's still central to how the city's food and distribution businesses move fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable product today.
That instinct for moving fresh product still runs the local economy, just at bigger scale. A regional grocery wholesale distributor and a fresh-produce distribution company both rank among Pompano Beach's top-ten employers, running operations out of the city's light-industrial zones, including the Andrews Industrial District. Distribution work at that volume is where PLAN IT's case erectors, sealers, and robotic case-packing systems earn their keep, taking product off a receiving dock and getting it repacked, cased, and palletized for the next leg of its trip. If your dock is moving fresh or frozen product at that volume, our VFFS baggers handle any product that needs bagging before it's cased, a combination we've supplied elsewhere in Florida to help a food producer scale its own production. You know fresh and frozen product; PLAN IT knows how to keep it moving off the dock. For a co-packer or redistributor scaling case volume here, that's exactly the packaging line PLAN IT builds, integrates, and supports, with in-stock machines available for operations that can't afford to wait months on a long custom-equipment lead time to keep product moving.
