Hadsund is home to a number of companies, including DAVA Foods and Nilfisk. West of Hadsund stands the oldest still existing windmill, Havnø Mølle, which was built in 1842.

It was founded in 1854, when it received handelspladsprivilegiet. Before, it had been only a ferry terminal with permission to hold markets either side of the fjord. In 1883 a rail link was established to Randers, and in 1900 another to Aalborg. Hadsund had two stations: Hadsund Nord and Hadsund Syd.
