Business Testimonials
   
 
 
Jim Kantor, President, Eastern Avionics, Inc.
  "Charlotte County is where a great business and industrial atmosphere meets a great quality of life--you can have both. Being in the airport area, I can go from working at my desk to boarding the boat in my backyard in 10 minutes. This is the most pro-business area of the country. There are true opportunities here due to growth in the area, and there are economic incentives here that aren't available in other areas."
 
 
Whit Ward, President, Bonded Builders Warranty Group
 "Bonded Builders Warranty Group is the third largest provider of new home warranties to the building industry in the U.S. In 2004 we explored the idea of relocating our headquarters to the West Coast of Florida. The decision to relocate to Charlotte County was a direct result of the assistance and cooperation offered by the Economic Development Office of Charlotte County, the cost and ease of doing business, and the availability of a trained workforce. We have not been disappointed. The high quality of employees we have attracted in Charlotte County has allowed us to grow by thirty percent with little or no increase in staff. Charlotte County is a great place to live and do business."
 
 
Robert Wenzel, President, Peace River Distributing, Inc.
 "We have been the local distributors of Anheuser-Busch and Corona beers since 1991. Our existing facility in Charlotte County has been overwhelmed by increased demand resulting from local growth in population and economic activity. We are doubling our refrigerated warehousing space to serve our accelerating sales growth. Our location near I-75 continues to provide easy access to inbound shipments and to the local road system for our deliveries."
 
 
Peter L. Timpanelli, President, Pulsafeeder, Inc.
 "Pulsafeeder has been located in Charlotte County for over 20 years and is the largest manufacturing operation in the county. Our growth has been a reflection of the progressive and loyal workforce that is willing to meet the challenges of today's dynamic business environment. All members of the Pulsafeeder Team are highly involved in process improvement initiatives such as Value Stream Mapping, One Piece Flow, Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing, which continually contribute to making our business better. Our favorable operating costs and our support from the local community combine to make Charlotte County a cost effective and business friendly location for IDEX Corporation."
 
 

Brian Connor, Manager of the UPS Service Center in Charlotte County
 "Charlotte County has proved an optimum location for UPS to run a successful operation. In addition to local government support, there is the area itself--offering a great year-round climate, scenic waterfront vistas, friendly people--that makes this county a perfect place to do business."
