Manufacturing and service industries in the City of Detroit, Michigan are the focal point of this guide.
Although many of Detroit's traditional industries have closed or have declined over the past fifty years or more, and the city has experienced a steady population decline since 1950, several major corporations are based in Detroit, including a few Fortune 500 companies. Although its automotive industry is not as strong as it once was, it continues to be among the most significant manufacturing industries in the city. Other strongly represented industries include finance and technology.
Among the top employers in Detroit are Quicken Loans, Chrysler, Blue Cross Blue Shield, General Motors, DTE Energy, Compuware, Detroit Diesel, Comerica, Deloitte, Johnson Controls, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Ally Financial.
Other companies based in Detroit include Shinola, American Axle, Campbell Ewald, and Rossetti Architects, while Fifth Third Bank, HP Enterprise, KPMG, and Ernst & Young have large offices in the city.
Several of the industries in downtown Detroit are relatively new, as companies have moved from satellite suburbs in the Metro Detroit region into the downtown region. Compuware moved its world headquarters to Detroit in 2003, and Quicken Loans established its world headquarters in downtown Detroit in 2010 after consolidating its suburban offices.
Whatever the product or the size of the company, any manufacturing or service industry located in Detroit is suitable for this category, from the largest corporation to a one-person auto repair shop.
Besides manufacturing companies, appropriate businesses for this category can include architects, construction companies, and other contractors, such as electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, landscapers, and cleaning services, as well as moving companies and storage facilities. Utility and telecommunications companies in Detroit may also be listed here. Services such as auto repair companies, autobody shops, computer repair companies, and other types of repair services would be suitable for this category.
Advertising and marketing companies in Detroit may be found here, and these may include traditional print or broadcast media advertising, as well as online marketing, web design services, graphic design, branding, and photographic services.
Legal services, such as attorneys and law firms in Detroit would be welcome here, along with financial services, which may include banks, credit unions, CPA and accounting firms, insurance companies, mortgage companies, and financial consultant services. Funeral homes, event planners, and employment services are other services and industries that would be appropriate for this category.
