Welcome

A ROBUST PLATFORM FOR BUSINESS SUCCESS With a talented, skilled workforce, low tax climate and an outstanding educational system, Palm Beach County offers a robust platform for sustained business success. It’s no surprise that major corporations, as well as leading financial service and technology firms, manufacturers, distributors and new entrepreneurial ventures have chosen to make their homes in our county. For more than 30 years, the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County has focused on building a strong and diverse countywide economy. In our last fiscal year, we facilitated 25 relocation and retention/expansion projects that resulted in the creation of 3,604 new and retained jobs with a total capital investment of nearly $285 million. Those projects have a powerful economic impact on Palm Beach County, from the western Glades region to our southern, central and northern communities. They also reflect our team approach to economic development, as our BDB staff members work closely every day with our state, county and city leaders, including the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, Enterprise Florida, CareerSource, the Economic Council, the Lake Okeechobee Regional Economic Alliance, area chambers of commerce, public and private educational institutions, and businesses of all sizes. This issue of Profile magazine – published by the BDB in partnership with the Board of County Commissioners and the Palm Beach County Office of Economic Sustainability – brings our region to life with an attractive new look

that highlights our powerful appeal to U.S. and international companies. We also highlight the rising young stars in our professional workforce, as well as leading companies in our targeted economic clusters: aerospace/aviation/ engineering, financial services, information technology, corporate headquarters, life sciences, logistics, and manufacturing. If you are considering Palm Beach County as a location for your business, we invite you to contact our professional staff to learn more about the many advantages the county has to offer, including our vigorous business and entrepreneurial ecosystem; collaborative spirit between business and government; sophisticated transportation system; quality public and private schools, and exceptional quality of life. Finally, I would like to express our deep gratitude to our investor-partners in the private sector who sponsor our programs and events, participate in our inbound and outbound marketing activities, and provide invaluable information and insights about timely business issues. You are truly making a difference to the future of Palm Beach County!

“We are excited to be moving to Palm Beach County where the population is very much in tune with keeping the environment clean for our generation and many more to come,” said Camilo Raful, president, Ramatex International. The global company will use its new Mangonia Park facility to distribute its environmentally friendly garments, blankets and other textile products throughout the U.S., Canada and Japan. NextEra Energy, a Fortune 200 company whose subsidiaries are Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) and NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, has found that Palm Beach County’s leading-edge research institutes – Scripps Florida and Max Planck Florida Institute – and abundant natural resources are also major business advantages. "Energy independence is critical for the future of our economy, security and environment - for Florida and the nation as a whole,” said Jim Robo, president and COO, NextEra Energy. “We are fortunate to have such a renowned research facility in our backyard, and our synergy is powerful.” “This is a great base to build a national business” says Kenneth Kahn, president of LRP Publications, Inc., who was a practicing employment law attorney when he founded the company in 1977. “We relocated our corporate office here in the 1990s. I wanted to live here and enjoy the sun and the water in south Florida and you can’t beat the lifestyle in Palm Beach County.” Along with a growing, well-educated workforce, Palm Beach County offers excellent public and private schools, high-quality healthcare, low-stress commuting and year-round warm weather – an appealing lifestyle for executives, professionals, employees and their families.

equestrian activities are among the many outdoor attractions. The county is also known for its dynamic cultural institutions, including 200 theaters, museums, arts centers, and indoor and outdoor performance stages. Adding to the quality of life are fine restaurants and high-end shopping, as well as top entertainment destinations like West Palm Beach’s Clematis Street and CityPlace, and Boca Raton’s Mizner Park and downtown Delray Beach. Other business assets include a strategic location for serving Florida’s largest metropolitan markets, access to deep-water ports and three international airports, and proximity to the markets of South America. Business travelers appreciate the convenience of Palm Beach International Airport, which was voted the third best in the U.S. and sixth best in the world by Conde Nast Traveler readers. “We are thrilled to relocate new companies to the area, and it is extremely rewarding to see existing businesses flourish and expand here,” said Kelly Smallridge, president & CEO, Business Development Board of Palm Beach County. “One of our many services is helping businesses find the right location.” With all these advantages, it’s no surprise that Palm Beach County continues to attract business investment from both new and expanding companies. For instance, Canada-based CEL Aerospace recently opened an office in Palm Beach County for design, manufacturing, installation and maintenance services for gas turbine engines. Another example is RADISE International, a Florida-based small business that provides engineering and IT services. In a recent announcement of its 60-job expansion plan, Kumar Allady, president of the Riviera Beach company, said, “Creating new, high-paying, high-tech jobs is essential to the future economic growth of the state, and we look forward to many more years of success here in Florida.”

alented young professionals like Busra Demirci are finding an appealing livework-play lifestyle in Palm Beach County. “Working here is one of the most rewarding experiences due to the growing Silicon Beach trend,” said Demirci, a user experience designer at Modernizing Medicine in Boca Raton. “The tech community not only provides a wide array of opportunities, but also a tight-knit group of professionals – all just a short stroll away from our beautiful beaches and Atlantic shores.” Her colleague Marlow Charite, a mobile software engineer and Palm Beach County native, agrees completely. “The diversity

here is amazing,” he said. “It’s easy to come into contact with people from all walks of life. Now, I’m living my dream of writing software for a living right here where I consider home.” In information technology, financial services, healthcare and other professional occupations, the Millennial generation is entering Palm Beach County’s workforce with excitement and enthusiasm. “They are the future,” said John Duffy, CEO, 3Cinteractive, a mobile marketing company in Boca Raton. “As a team, we spend a great deal of time helping them be successful. I believe that creating competencies is one of the keys to a happy and engaged workforce. While compensation, job security and the physical environment are important, the ability to learn, to perform quality work and to be recognized for success are even more important for workers of all ages.”

That entrepreneurial spirit is paying off, judging from recent comments from 3Cinteractive’s Millennial workers. “I joined 3C because of its exciting and progressive environment with a strong, positive culture,” said one employee. Another added, “I was attracted to the family-focused environment and opportunity to do exciting work for some great clients.” For today’s young professionals, a sense of corporate purpose, financial security, and a healthy internal culture are powerful motivators, according to Daniel Cane, CEO, Modernizing Medicine. “Millennials feel they can work anywhere they choose,” he said. “They are attracted to companies that serve a larger purpose and have a culture of caring. In other words, they want an employer who is doing well by doing good.” Within the workplace, Millennials like open layouts, collaborative spaces, a lounge for “downtime” and a creative approach to artwork, furnishings and accessories. “The open concept significantly energizes the dynamic of the entire office,” said Keith Spina, CEO, GliddenSpina + Partners. “It not only fosters collaboration and improves communication, it elevates the team atmosphere and for us that is a win.” 32 PALM BEACH COUNTY BUSINESS PROFILE | BDB.ORG

In 2014, the firm created Noble LSP and dedicated more resources to the life sciences sector, including the formation of a Life Sciences Advisory Board (LSAB). “We want to be a financial catalyst, helping to drive this sector,” said Titcomb, who is also active with the Life Science Executive Council, a consortium of corporate executives and financiers dedicated to strengthening the region’s life sciences sector. “The arrival of Scripps Florida, Max Planck Florida Institute and other leading research facilities put this sector on the map,” he said. “It usually takes a decade or longer to build a vibrant ecosystem around a new scientific institute. Now, South Florida is at that point, and we are committed to bringing all the pieces together for a long-term, sustainable life sciences industry.” Last spring, Nico Pronk, Noble’s CEO, announced the formation of a Technology Advisory Board (TAB), led by noted entrepreneur Dr. William

McGann, to guide its analysts, investment bankers and corporate clients. “The formation of the TAB brings additional strategic value to our technology group and clients,” Pronk said. Noble capitalizes on that investment in research by hosting events with partners throughout the year, including working in conjunction with others to host the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Media Finance & Investor Conference last fall in Las Vegas, and NobleCon12, held in January on the Treasure Coast in partnership with Enterprise Florida. Noble is also investing in the county's financial workforce. “We have a great internship program with Florida Atlantic University, which has a state-of-theart trading center for students interested in financial analysis,” Titcomb said. “As Palm Beach County attracts more financial services firms, there will be an increasing number of career opportunities for them, close to home.”

The City of West Palm Beach’s Flagler Financial District is designed to connect the many banks, brokerages, family offices and investment offices already located in the city, and attract other businesses that benefit from proximity to others in the financial field. “I think it makes West Palm Beach even more attractive to financial sector executives, knowing that there are similar businesses close by,” said Mayor Jeri Muoio . “Within the financial district there are a lot of demands for data and cloud processing. Having the infrastructure to support that in one centralized area makes a lot of sense.” 44 PALM BEACH COUNTY BUSINESS PROFILE | BDB.ORG

Christopher Roog, West Palm Beach economic development director, agrees that the district which stretches from Okeechobee Boulevard to 6th Street, and from the waterfront of Flagler Drive to Rosemary Avenue, is a natural extension of the sector growth already fueling the city’s economy. “Big financial businesses tend to group together,” Roog says. “West Palm Beach is rapidly becoming a hub for the financial industry. We already have several headquarters in the heart of our downtown, and the creation of the Flagler Financial District highlights the critical mass the sector has reached in our city.”

Missroon said that public health representatives from Europe and the Middle East expressed interest in the VistA system at HIMSS 2016, the recent Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society conference in Las Vegas. “The global public health market is underserved by health IT companies, and our system would fit their needs very well,” he said. “With 25 years of proven experience, talented teams, and the innovative technology to broadly connect information and functionality across diverse systems, organizations and communities, our company has a very bright future.”

KRS

Life Sciences Company on Steep Growth Trajectory Thanks to its agility, adaptability, and dedication to quality, KRS Global Biotechnology is enjoying a steep growth trajectory. Fifteen years after its founding, the Boca Raton life sciences company has become a national leader in pharmaceutical outsourcing and manufacturing services with exciting new opportunities on the horizon. “We provide innovative, effective and safe solutions to some of the greatest challenges in today’s medical environment,” said Riccardo Roscetti, president and CEO. “What sets us apart is our ability to serve the U.S. and global markets with our growing portfolio, skilled team and state-of-the-art facility.” Founded in 2001, KRS was originally a nutraceutical company developing and distributing products for healthy lifestyles. Seven years later, KRS shifted gears to capitalize on an emerging opportunity in the pharmacy sector, developing kits to test the aseptic compounding techniques of sterile compounding technicians. KRS also moved into the pharmaceutical compounding sector, preparing personalized single-dose medications in bulk for the nation’s hospitals, surgical centers, clinics and veterinarians. In 2013, President Barack Obama signed the Compounding Quality Act, which set certain guidelines to ensure the safety and quality of compound medications. KRS soon became one of only 50 U.S. companies known as a 503B Human Outsourcing Facility. “We have come a long way from the days of mortar and pestle compounding,” said Stephen Duffie, vice president of business development. Palm Beach County’s life sciences cluster is anchored by the Scripps Florida Research Institute and the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience, and includes more than 80 innovative medical device, pharmaceutical, therapeutics, biotechnology, and

“U.S. hospital pharmacies spend $8 to $10 billion annually on outsourced compounded drugs and we are one of the largest suppliers,” Duffie said. Recognizing the growing need for compounded medications in fields like ophthalmology and oncology, KRS has ramped up its capabilities, which now include chemotherapy and veterinary/equine products. KRS also developed “media challenge kits,” which help nurses and pharmacy technicians test their medication compounding techniques – an annual or semi-annual state requirement. “We were making these kits for ourselves, and decided to offer them to the market as well,” said Sam Genovese, chief operating officer. “Our kits have clear instructions, illustrations and reporting forms, and there are thousands of U.S. hospitals, universities, infusion and compounding pharmacies across the country that are natural customers for our kits.” Seizing another growth opportunity, KRS registered with the FDA in 2014 as a medical device manufacturer to develop future products for life science customers. “All our lines complement each other and add to our ability to penetrate the market,” said John Swartz, vice president of national accounts. KRS has its own in-house analytical laboratory and team of microbiologists, biochemists, chemists, pharmacists, technicians, and scientists. “We work closely with our logistical partners such as UPS, FedEx and DHL to offer quick turnaround times and deliveries for our compounded or manufactured preparations,” added Swartz. KRS also invested in a water treatment plant, turning municipal water into highly sterile “water for medical IT companies. Life sciences is also supported by five universities, including Florida Atlantic University (FAU), a Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching “High Research Activity” institution, 14 hospitals and numerous medical faciilties.

injection (WFI)” for its manufacturing and clean room operations. “We believe this is another product line that will appeal to hospitals and surgical centers, and it significantly reduces operating costs,” Duffie said. Last November, KRS Global Biotechnology was selected as a Florida Companies to Watch winner, a statewide program managed by economic development group GrowFL. “This award highlights KRS’s capacity to develop the most innovative products and solutions in the outsourcing market that help to improve patient safety and customer satisfaction,” said Roscetti. On March 16, KRS was honored by the South Florida Manufacturing Association with the SFMA Manufacturer of the Year Award in the 1-75 employee category and will now move on to represent the region in the state competition. In December, Governor Rick Scott joined KRS executives, city and county officials and economic development leaders in announcing the company’s plan to invest $28 million and create 160 new jobs. “KRS is honored to have the support of Boca Raton, Palm Beach County and Governor Scott as we expand,” said Roscetti. “Governor Scott’s commit-

ment to the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries in Florida was one of the deciding factors for us to stay and grow here in Florida.” Duffie noted that the KRS Global Biotechnology expansion was made possible through partnerships between Enterprise Florida, Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, Palm Beach County, and the City of Boca Raton. “We have received phenomenal support from the community,” added Duffie. “Palm Beach County is a hotbed for life sciences companies, partly because of the flow of talent from our universities and colleges. The level of education here is stellar, and when students graduate, they are ready to work.” Today, KRS is more than just a supplier of compounded products and services, adds Duffie. “Our pharmacists provide guidance to clients on the proper handling of sterile products, regulatory requirements regarding sterile products, and clinical expertise in the use of the products they prepare. We will continue to forge new relationships in American and international markets as we continue to grow our company.”

Cheney Brothers

A Leader in Food Service Distribution Since 1925 A home-grown Palm Beach County success story, Cheney Brothers, Inc. (C-B-I) has grown through the decades to become one of the state’s largest privately owned companies with sales exceeding $1.5 billion. From its headquarters in Riviera Beach, Cheney Brothers serves customers throughout Florida, the Southeast U.S. and the Caribbean, handling more than 15,000 different food, paper and cleaning products. “While many things in Florida have changed over the years, we have always built our food distribution business on the basis of personal relationships,” said Byron Russell, CEO. “Our employees are members of the Cheney family, and our customers are our friends.” Cheney Brothers has been serving South Florida for more than 90 years, since Joe Cheney opened a facility in West Palm Beach in 1925. The company remained a leader in the food distribution sector through the Great Depression and World War II, growing to meet the area’s expanding post-war population. Russell, Cheney’s grandson, joined the company as a buyer and warehouse manager in 1976 and became CEO five years later. “When I grew up, there was a really defined tourist season on the East Coast of Florida,” Russell said. “You would plan your inventory and work schedules based on when the tourists would be coming to South Florida. Now, there is a flow of visitors throughout the year, and most restaurants stay open.”

With a central location for Florida’s largest population centers and convenient access to world markets, Palm Beach County is a logical choice for logistics and distribution companies. Currently, the county is home to 14 distribution centers occupying over 3.2 million square feet.

During the 1990s, the company’s growth accelerated with its first annual Food Show at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, bringing in hundreds of new food customers. Today, Cheney Brothers has two major annual food shows in the state, with attendance of more than 7,000 purchasers for each event. After the advent of the 21st century, Cheney Brothers opened a 550,000 square-foot distribution center in Ocala, a Kitchen Design Center in Riviera Beach and a processing facility in Orlando, creating the Bari Beef International (BBI) brand with the acquisition of Orlando Food Service & Bari Italian Foods. Today, Cheney Brothers’ exclusive brands include Grand Western Steaks, Belgium Nuts & Candy Company and Belgium Butter Company, Bari Beef International, Duck Deli Meats, Acento-Latino Foods, Fronte-Italian Foods and Cheney Brothers Estate Coffees. Noting the company’s longtime leadership in technology, Russell said, “Careful fleet tracking is critical in the food distribution business. Customers demand that the freshest inventory arrives at the predetermined time in the very best condition. Cheney Brothers takes pride in our on-time deliveries which can be traced to our superior driver training, state-ofthe-art GPS tracking systems and our dedication to provide the very best service for our customers.” On October 23, 2015, Governor Rick Scott

attended the ribbon cutting of Cheney Brothers’ 350,000 square-foot distribution facility in Punta Gorda to serve Southwest Florida and the Tampa Bay region. “The creation of 380 new jobs in Punta Gorda is great news for our state,” said Scott. The new center was also a milestone for Warren Newell, director of development, who is responsible for the construction and engineering aspects of the company’s rapid growth. “Byron and I were born in West Palm Beach and have known each other since fifth grade,” said Newell. “In addition to creating great jobs for Florida families, Byron has always been dedicated to helping our community, which can be seen by the dozens of charity events Cheney Brothers sponsors every year.” Overall, Cheney Brothers employs more than 2,000 individuals across the state, including 1,000 who live in Palm Beach County. “Many members of our team have worked for us for over 30 years, and

some for over 40 years,” Russell said. “This is a real family company.” Newell adds that Cheney Brothers also continues to invest in Palm Beach County, improving its existing infrastructure, adding new facilities, increasing the trucks in its fleet and expanding its distribution centers. Besides the main 300,000-square-foot facility in Riviera Beach, Cheney Brothers has multiple satellite facilities housing overflow products within the region. “We are continually reviewing our space needs and expect to add many new distribution facilities in Florida and the Southeast U.S.,” said Newell. Looking ahead, Russell sees a bright future for Cheney Brothers and other transportation and logistics companies in Palm Beach County. “International sales continue to increase, and having the Port of Palm Beach so close to our distribution center adds to our logistical capabilities. We now serve more than 110 different countries and the list keeps growing.”

More than

500,000 Floridians are employed in the wholesale trade, transportation and logistics industry. As a commercial gateway to the Caribbean and Latin America, Palm Beach County’s logistics and distribution industry is poised to grow further with the Panama Canal expansion in 2016 and the numerous infrastructure developments and upgrades underway around the state. 55

“Speaking as a parent, Palm Beach County’s public school system prepared my two children very well for their higher education. The quality of schools and faculty and the diversity of options within the system provides any willing student with excellent opportunities.” – Jim Maus, Executive Director, Aerojet Rocketdyne

In Palm Beach County, both the public and private sectors are investing in education. “We know that our diverse and multilingual workforce is the vital support required by industries seeking to connect to global populations and business environments,” said Kelly Smallridge, president & CEO, Business Development Board. “We invest in our students’ college preparedness, and workforce readiness, and in curriculum alignment, quality, and diversity of choice.” For example, FAU biology major Monique Tromp is a scholar in the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience Scholars Program, where she will conduct research upon graduation. “FAU’s Harriet L.

To assist relocating and expanding companies, the BDB has compiled a list of “shovel-ready” sites that can be developed within 12 months, as well as more than a dozen “megasites,” large-scale developments in locations throughout the county. Many municipalities also offer an expedited permitting process to help businesses get their new operations up and running as quickly as possible. In northern Palm Beach County, plans are underway for two 11story Class A office buildings, each with 112,000 square-feet. The Palm Beach Gardens project, which includes a three-story parking garage, will be developed by an affiliate of DiVosta Investments, which is aiming to complete the development by 2017. In Jupiter, Kolter Homes is planning more than 1,000 new homes, a hotel and retail space at Alton, a 626-acre site near Scripps Research Institute. Model homes are already open. Another prospective project is Suni Sands, a 10-acre Jupiter waterfront property that may include an inn, restaurants, shops and docks.

In unincorporated Palm Beach County, north of Okeechobee Boulevard and west of the Florida Turnpike, Minto Communities is planning to build Westlake, a mixed use development to include 4,546 homes, 2.1 million square- feet of commercial offices, a hotel, and a college campus. The largest new development in the region is Avenir, a 4,763acre tract in Palm Beach Gardens that will be developed by Avenir Holdings in stages. When completed, it will include nearly 4,000 new homes, 1.8 million square-feet of office space, 200,000 square-feet of medical office space, 400,000 square-feet of commercial use and a 300-room hotel.
