Manufacturing In Leeds
 
Welcome to this showcase for enterprise and innovation in Leeds, the UK’s second largest manufacturing centre outside London.

Leeds has nearly 1,900 companies engaged in a diverse range of manufacturing activities, including specialised engineering, print, food and drink manufacture, chemicals and medical technology. Employing over 38,500 people, the sector generates 11% of Leeds’ total output of over £15 billion a year.

Most Leeds manufacturing companies are small to medium sized, in many cases world leaders in their respective fields. They play a key role in the city’s economic life, adding diversity and vitality and ensuring Leeds’ fortunes are not dependent on individual industries or employers.

Our site features dozens of Leeds manufacturing case studies, key facts and figures. Please contact us with comments or feedback or to highlight a Leeds business you believe should be showcased.
