Metro Orlando’s central location in Florida positions it as a hub with exceptionally quick, easy access to air, land, water and space transportation routes. This distinctive geographical advantage makes the region an ideal location for general manufacturing, warehouse and distribution businesses.

A full range of manufacturers and warehouse/distributors are represented in Metro Orlando, supplied by a deep, diverse talent pool of experienced employees. Major corporations operating in the region include the headquarters for Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas, Inc. and major operatios for HD Supply. A proliferate number of mid-sized manufacturers and distributors further fuel the region’s economic engine.

As businesses in this sector continually explore ways to reduce transportation shipping costs, Orlando’s locale is increasingly recognized as a valuable asset. Orlando International Airport is within overnight trucking distance of many major U.S. cities, and has scheduled non-stop service to more U.S. airports than any other Florida airport.

Strategic partnerships between educational institutions and business also have a positive impact on the sector. Companies wishing to start up in or relocate to Metro Orlando can find a wealth of support and assistance in practically all aspects of their business.
