US (FL): Logistics company ships flowers around the clock
Virtually all the flowers and produce handled by the privately owned firm originate in Latin America and are destined for markets in Florida and the rest of the U.S. The company also handles exports and imports worldwide.
During most of the year, about 60 percent of business is in flowers and 40 percent in produce. For Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, it’s 80 percent flowers and 20 percent produce.
Flora Logistics operates a 380,000-square-foot refrigerated warehouse and 40,000 square feet of adjacent office space. It can stage up to 50 trucks at once and has the capacity to load more than 1,200 trucks daily.
