The Piraeus Chamber of Commerce and Industry is one of the oldest Chambers in the country. Founded in 1905 as a Private Entity and, since 1919, has been operating as a Public Entity. It is an institutionalized consultative and advisory body of the State and its companies-members, as regards commerce, industry and national economy in general.

The Chamber operates under Law 2081/1992, as amended by Law 3419/2005, which is in force nowadays. All chambers have administrative and financial autonomy and are under the administrative supervision of the Minister of Development as regards the legality of their actions.

The Chamber's services are housed in a wonderful building, designed by the great architects, I. Biris, D. Tripodakis and M.
