Business and Industry
Business in Eastern Montgomery County is as diverse as it comes, with companies and firms of all sizes and types calling this thriving region of Pennsylvania home. The county’s location is unrivaled, with its close proximity to the bustling cities of Philadelphia and New York, along with an extensive network of highways, airports and rail lines.
Even more than its strategic locale is the exceptional mix of businesses, with manufacturing, retail, major corporations and innovative industries setting up shop here. While manufacturing is certainly the county’s most prominent business sector, the majority of its economy falls with small businesses and firms.
Eastern Montgomery County businesses are fortunate to have a number of supportive organizations dedicated to the well-being and improvement of the area’s economic environment. Serving nine municipalities, the Eastern Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce strives to promote both its member businesses and the overall health of the area’s economy through unifying local businesses, government, education and the entirety of Eastern Montgomery County.
More than 700 members, comprised of small, medium and large businesses, enjoy the Chamber’s array of benefits and services. These include the establishment and success of area businesses, offering educational opportunities, and improving the economic environment through both community and legislative action. The Chamber also provides information on business issues, opportunities for marketing and advertising and a number of excellent networking events.
