Manufacturing

Manufacturers are a powerful economic engine for the state's economy. Many manufacturing operations throughout the state benefit from the presence of advanced research facilities at Florida's universities and colleges, military installations, and NASA. The industry cluster counts nearly 17,000 manufacturers who employ more than 388,000 workers across the state.

Southwest Florida's manufacturing industries are diverse and include companies in traditional manufacturing industries, such as plastics, food processing and printing, as well as those that are engaged in breakthrough technologies, like electronics, medical devices and aviation/aerospace.

Florida has a strong, skilled manufacturing workforce, which represents 5% of the state's non-agricultural workforce. Here in Southwest Florida, our multicultural and multilingual workforce provides the region's manufacturers with an excellent advantage in conducting business overseas.
