Jenison, Michigan industries producing goods or providing services are the focus of this portion of our guide.

In the context of economics, an industry is a company that produces or supplies goods, services, or sources of income, generally sorted into primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.

Primary industries involve the extraction or production of raw materials, and include agriculture, fishing, forestry, and mining. These industries often dominate the economies of developing nations.

Secondary industries are the manufacturing industries, which take the raw materials supplied through primary industries and process them into consumer goods. Industries that further process goods that other secondary industries have formed into products are also considered secondary industries, as are construction companies, and energy-producing companies. Secondary industries may be further sorted into light and heavy industries, and may range from one-person to family-operated businesses, to large corporations.

Also known as service industries, tertiary industries are those that provide services or generate wealth rather than producing tangible goods. Included here are banking and other financial services, insurance agencies, investment companies, and professional consulting, legal, and personal services. While real estate, transportation, and dining and guest accommodations may be considered service industries, we include them in separate categories within the Aviva Directory.

Quaternary industries are information-based or knowledge-oriented businesses, such as information technology, research and development, technical development, strategic or business analysis and consulting, and communication technologies.
