In addition to distribution and food, fiber and natural products, the community has a strong manufacturing structure.

Tolleson Arizona has a prime location along a major transportation corridor, the Papago Freeway, which is a segment of Interstate 10. The Union Pacific rail line runs through Tolleson, providing a number of industrial sites with rail access.
