Dundalk Chamber Of Commerce
Dundalk Chamber is the representative forum for businesses in Dundalk region. We are committed to stimulating investment, sustaining economic growth and enhancing business opportunities
Dundalk has an extremely active Chamber of Commerce. Dundalk’s business network and business voice consist of 250 members representing all business sectors in the town. Chamber council members meet monthly with a view to promoting economic development throughout Dundalk.
The Chamber structure is designed to meet the needs of the key business sectors in the community and to ensure their development objectives are met by appropriate representation on each sector’s behalf.
Dundalk is strategically located along the M1 Corridor, approximately midway between the two largest cities in the island of Ireland, Belfast and Dublin. The M1 Corridor is a thriving hub of economic activity with established multinational and indigenous businesses across multiple industry sectors.
Historically a town famous for manufacturing industries (featuring brewing, textiles, shoe making and tobacco plants), Dundalk has now evolved into a hub for technology, electronics, engineering and pharmaceuticals.
