Co-packers in Florida

Citrus at the source, and the natural gateway to Latin America.

Why manufacturing concentrates here

Florida’s beverage manufacturing grew around citrus and the capability stayed, which makes it a sensible base for juice-adjacent and tropical flavour products.

The ports at Miami and Jacksonville make it the obvious gateway for Latin American and Caribbean distribution, and for imported ingredients arriving from the same direction.

A large and fast-growing domestic population means a brand can build meaningful regional distribution without leaving the state.

What to check before you commit

  1. Heat and humidity in transitAmbient distribution in a Florida summer is a genuine product risk for anything heat sensitive.
  2. Hurricane season affects schedulingJune to November. Ask how the site handles a shutdown and what happens to your booked slot.
  3. Citrus supply has been under pressureFlorida citrus volumes have fallen substantially. Do not assume local supply of the input the industry was built on.
