What to do with my hide? 

If you can not bring in your hide within 24-48 hours we recommend either refrigerating (for no more than 48 hours), freezing or salting the hide to prevent it from spoiling.

Salted hides may be brought in as is, however if the hide is frozen it must be thawed before we are able to give it a grade and issue payment. 

For more than a century, Grand Rapids Hide Company has been part of the hide and leather industry. Today, we continue that tradition right here in Hudsonville, Michigan—curing premium bovine hides year-round and handling seasonal deer hides from hunters throughout the region.

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.
