Our Story
Manufacturing Since 1934
Florence Corporation began in 1934 as a small company in a downtown Chicago garage. Since then, we’ve grown to become an industry leader, setting the pace for innovation in centralized mail delivery equipment and package solutions. From the very first patent we founded our company with, to the dozens we've had since then, we’re continually perfecting USPS Approved and Private mail and package solutions. At Florence, we guarantee that all of our products meet the highest standards of security and durability. We also ensure that your centralized mail equipment is crafted within ISO-certified quality production and environmental standards at our vertically integrated facility in America's Heartland.
