Grand Rapids Hide Company
PLEASE NOTE: AT THIS TIME WE DO NOT TAN HIDES
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 have evolved while staying true to our time-honored traditions.
Today, we specialize in curing premium bovine hides year-round, with a seasonal focus on deer hides. We salt, stack, and ship our hides globally—serving markets as far as Italy and China—where they are transformed into fine leather goods. Our expertise in hide processing ensures that each product we ship out our door is of the highest quality.
In addition to our hide processing operations, Grand Rapids Hide Company proudly offers a selection of high-quality leather gloves, mittens and belts. We also provide farming salt, continuing to serve the needs of local communities and industries.
As a locally owned and operated business, we are deeply committed to the Grand Rapids area, the state of Michigan and beyond. Our legacy of exceptional service, sustainable practices, and dedication to craftsmanship continues to guide us as we move forward into the future. Whether buying cow and deer hides or purchasing premium leather goods, our customers can always count on the same reliable quality that has defined Grand Rapids Hide Company for over 100 years.
