Florida

Powered by FloridaMakes

Every day, thousands of Florida manufacturers are building products, solving problems and creating opportunities that reach far beyond our state. Made in Florida exists to tell that story, and help write the next chapter.

Through powerful stories, statewide promotion, industry data and connections to resources, Made in Florida elevates the companies and people behind one of Florida’s most important industries.

Because manufacturing isn’t just part of Florida’s economy. It’s part of Florida’s identity.
