ACC, More than Just Chrome

 

 

About Us

Founded in 1983, American Chrome Company (ACC) is a well recognized global leader in supplying the heavy truck and RV industries. While we specialize in chrome, stainless steel, and PC/ABS chrome products, ACC’s OEM commitment has allowed us to expand to become global souring specialists. Quality is not just a word we use; it is the defining difference in how ACC manufactures our products and why our customers have made us one of the most successful chrome, stainless steel, and PC / ABS plastic suppliers in North America.

ACC’s newest warehouse and distribution center is located in Bolingbrook, Illinois. With 80,000 square feet of office and warehouse space, state-of-the-art inventory control systems, and full EDI transaction capabilities, ACC is well equipped to provide a full range of products and services to our customers.

A certified MBE and WBE, ACC is committed to being a world class automotive and heavy truck supplier through strategic relationships with minority firms. Our commitment to minority business was recognized and rewarded by the receipt of ChicagoMSDC’s 2011 Minority Supplier of the Year award!
