Summary:Condoms, cut flowers, computer software, orange juice, insurance, speedboats, open-heart surgery, Gulf-front condominiums, flight recorders, highways, trailers, lounge chairs, ultrasonic sensors, burgers, beer, windows, newspapers and glass refrigerator doors--that's just a sampling of what you can buy from the biggest private companies in Sarasota and Manatee. Some have been here for generations;. execs of others are still gapping at the palm trees and asking for haddock instead of mullet in the local fish markets. Some serve customers only in Southwest Florida, while others fill orders from as far away as Australia or Japan. They range from traditional manufacturers to suppliers of sophisticated high-tech services, and they hire people from unskilled workers to physics whizzes. But they all have one thing in common: in this year of economic blahs and electioneering bombast, they managed to ring up sales of at least $10 million--and most rang up much, much more. (excerpt)
