Advanced Manufacturing

Top advanced manufacturers, such as Johnson & Johnson Vision, Anheuser-Busch, BAE Systems, Baker Hughes, Medtronic and Northrop Grumman, continue to find success in Jacksonville due to our infrastructure, competitive business community and availability of talent.

Our substantial military sector is one of the unique assets companies take advantage of as 3,000+ retiring veterans choose to stay here each year and join our skilled workforce.

Jacksonville's location as the westernmost point on the East Coast and its logistics and transportation infrastructure includes rail, air, maritime and highway that allows shipping anywhere in the world and offers same-day access to 98+ million customers. The area boasts two large-scale industrial parks, Cecil Commerce Center, the largest aviation industrial park in the Southeast, and Crawford Diamond Industrial Park, offering opportunities for major industrial power users and energy industry suppliers.

The region continues to grow production and export of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and has the land and resources to accommodate significant growth in this area.
