Lansing is for the makers. The creatives. The try, learn, and try again crowd.
From the gorgeous and obvious to the obscure and innovative, you’d be surprised at everything we make in Lansing, Michigan.
We manufacture things that power our world, we invent new solutions, we craft artisan goods and literal battle axes. We give artists and creatives a place to grow, start-ups and fledgling entrepreneurs a chance to find their footing, and hometown empires the oomph needed to take on the world.
As an ode to our region, we put together this unofficial, non-exhaustive, just-barely-scratching-the-surface list of things that are made here in the 517 (or, more accurately, within an easy radius of our beloved capital. If you’re on this list and you have a different area code, know that we love you just the same!).
Whether you’re a science-type, a creative, a techie; someone who wants to work with your hands or someone who wants to help the world run better; an investor, building your career, or an aspiring artist on the come up, you can make it here in Lansing.
If you already live here, then you’re no stranger to good choices and showing our home some love.
And, if you don’t live here yet, we hope this list will inspire you (maybe even impress you) and help you imagine building your own tiny corner of the world right here in Lansing. We promise there’s a place for you, and we’d love for you to be our neighbor.
