Florida's manufacturing sector is dominated by aerospace and defense -- with Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, L3Harris Technologies, and Boeing all operating major Florida facilities -- along with a large medical device manufacturing base (particularly in the Tampa Bay area), food processing, and increasingly, defense electronics. These manufacturers require pallets that meet OSHA load ratings, support automated production lines, and in many cases match specific OEM supplier specifications for components shipped to assembly facilities. Custom pallet sizes and new block pallets are particularly common in Florida's aerospace and defense manufacturing corridor.
