Where Arab America does business.
Where Arab America does business.
Founded in Dearborn in 1992, the American Arab Chamber of Commerce was born here in the heart of the largest, most established Arab American community in the country. This is our home and headquarters.
Our Headquarters
Michigan is more than our headquarters. It is proof of what an Arab American business community can build. From the storefronts of Warren Avenue to the boardrooms of metro Detroit, our members run the restaurants, clinics, dealerships, logistics firms, real-estate companies, and manufacturers that anchor the regional economy. Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties together are home to hundreds of thousands of Arab Americans, and the businesses they own employ tens of thousands of their neighbors. The Chamber has stood beside them since 1992, and from this office we serve members locally, nationally, and across the Arab world.
