Dear Member,
Is your business engaged in the US Market or have plans to do so?
If you do, Newry Chamber wants to hear from you!
The Greater Newry Area has a long and cherished relationship with Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and we are working to reconnect with our friends in the Steel City in 2025.
This relationship was forged through the commitment to our local area of the late Dan Rooney, former owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and former US Ambassador to Ireland, who founded the Rooney Fellowship which facilitated work placements in Pittsburgh for local FE College students and was instrumental, alongside the late Tony O’Reilly of Heinz in forming The Newry-Pittsburgh Partnership.
Dan was very proud of his ancestral roots in Newry and the links between the city and Pittsburgh. The Chamber is working to reconnect with our friends in Pittsburgh in 2025 and we hope to host a business delegation from Pittsburgh here in our city and district on 2nd & 3rd July and hope to engage with businesses in Pittsburgh in March as part of our visit to the United States.
We are working with Invest NI to link companies in the Greater Newry Area, that are already trading in the United States or in a position to look at the US market as part of their expansion plans, with potential trading partners in Pittsburgh.
Newry Chamber is developing a directory of businesses across the region that are keen to develop relationships with businesses in Pittsburgh and the wider Western Pennsylvania area.
If you would like your company to be included on the directory, please complete the form below and if you have any questions in the meantime, please email me via:

We look forward to hearing from you.
Michael Savage
Chief Executive Officer
Newry Chamber of Commerce & Trade
