The Husum Paper mill and Sulphate pulp mill is the main employer in the area, and has been a significant influence on the municipality since it was founded in 1919 by Mo och Domsjö AB ("Modo" for short, see also Modo Hockey). Metsä Board of Finland (previously known as M-Real and Metsä-Serla) acquired the mill in 2000.
Situated close to both the sea and the mountains, Husum has two rivers (Husån and Gideälven) flowing into the municipality.

Husum is very close to the regional airport at Gideå, and a station for the new rail line Botniabanan has just been built close to the center of municipality.
