Grand Rapids Hide Company
Located in Hudsonville, Michigan, Grand Rapids Hide Company has been a trusted name in the hide industry since the late 1800s. Rooted in a rich history of fur, hides, and tallow, we’ve evolved while staying true to our time-honored traditions.
Today, we cure premium bovine hides year-round, with a seasonal focus on deer hides. Each hide is carefully salted, stacked, and shipped to markets around the world, where it’s transformed into fine leather goods. Our expertise ensures that every product leaving our doors meets the highest standards of quality.
In addition to our hide operations, Grand Rapids Hide Company proudly offers high-quality leather gloves, mittens, belts, and farming salt—continuing to serve the needs of local communities and industries.
Grand Rapids Hide is locally owned and operated, and we continue to uphold a legacy of quality service that began over a century ago.
