Williamsburg, Michigan industries producing goods or providing services are the focal point of this part of our web guide.

Industries are companies or corporations that produce or supply goods, services, or sources of income, and are generally sorted into primary, secondary, tertiary, of quaternary.

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

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

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

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

Manufacturing and service industries in Williamsburg, Michigan are appropriate topics for this category.
