Largest Industries

Grand Rapids has long been a center for furniture and automobile manufacturing; however, the presence of both industries has declined in the region along with manufacturing in general. Several major manufacturers of office furniture, are based in the Grand Rapids area.

More recently the city has had some success in developing and attracting businesses focusing on the health sciences, with facilities such as the Van Andel Research Institute (primarily focused on cancer research), Grand Valley State University's Cook-DeVos Center for Health Sciences (undergraduate and graduate medical programs, doctorate program in Physical Therapy), and Michigan State University's planned medical school.

The Grand Rapids area is also home to a number of well known companies that belong to diverse fields like consumer goods manufacture and distribution, home and auto insurance, Supercenter chain, Aerospace products design and manufacte of shoes, boots and clothing, and building materials.
