The city of Hadsund is home to a number of companies, including DAVA Foods, Nilfisk, and Bodylab. The western part of the greater Hadsund area is home to the oldest still-existing windmill in northern Jutland, Havnø Mølle, which was built in 1842 and operated until approximately 1927.
Hadsund houses multiple educational institutions, including Tech College Mariagerfjord, VUC Hadsund, Hadsund School and Hadsund Produktionsskole in the area of vocational education. The city also has a broad selection of supermarkets and specialty shops considering the city's modest population, such as the only covered shopping center in Himmerland: Hadsund Butikscenter.
Storegade has constituted the city's pedestrian zone since 1990. The street was part of the main highway between Hobro and Aalborg until the road was reconstructed in 1970.
