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.
