Manufacturing and service industries in Imlay City, Michigan are the focal point of this guide.

Although many residents in Imlay City are employed in other cities within the Detroit Metro Region, the city has a dynamic manufacturing base. Industrial uses make up more than fourteen percent of the developed land area within the city.

Construction and related contracting fields, such as electrical work, heating and air conditioning, plumbing, landscaping, house painting, and home maintenance businesses are somewhere between manufacturing and service industries. Businesses such as auto repair shops, autobody shops, and other types of repair services in Imlay City would be a good fit here, as well.

Economic activity is divided into two broad categories: goods and services. Manufacturing and construction companies produce goods or products.

Goods-producing industries include agriculture, construction, manufacturing, and mining, each of which creates or produces tangible goods. Service industries include everything else.

Service industries, therefore, represent a wide variety of businesses, some of which we have elected to sort into separate subcategories within the Aviva Directory. In general, a service industry is one that creates services rather than tangible objects or goods. This would include banking, communications, medicine, wholesale and retail, and professional services such as computer software development and engineering, as well as consumer services.

However, as mentioned earlier, we have elected to categorize some service industries into separate subcategories, such as Getting from Here to There, Health & Public Safety, News & Media Outlets, Places to Eat, Places to Shop, and Things to Do & Places to Go. Not all of these categories exist within the Imlay City category, though.

Besides manufacturing, agriculture, construction, and other contractor services, this category might include Imlay City advertising or web design firms, attorneys and legal services, automotive services (but not sales), computer services, employment agencies, event planning, financial services, funeral services, photographic services, publishing and printing services, moving and storage companies, telecommunications, and utilities.
