What is 248

Area code 248 covers Oakland County in Southeast Michigan — Troy, Auburn Hills, Pontiac, Royal Oak, Farmington Hills, Novi, and Southfield. Oakland County is one of the wealthiest counties in the Midwest and the centre of the global automotive technology industry. General Motors' Global Technical Center sits at its edge in Warren, and Stellantis's North American headquarters in Auburn Hills anchors the north end. The I-75 corridor through Troy and Auburn Hills hosts the densest concentration of tier-1 automotive suppliers, engineering firms, and technology companies in the US outside of Detroit's core. Oakland County's per capita income consistently ranks among the highest in the US Midwest.

WHY 248 · FOUR REASONS

Why choose a 248 number?

01

General Motors Global Technical Center — automotive innovation hub

GM's Global Technical Center in Warren sits at the edge of the 248 zone and is the nerve centre of GM's vehicle engineering. Automotive technology, materials, and engineering services suppliers benefit from a local Oakland County number when engaging GM's vast tier-1 ecosystem.

02

Stellantis Auburn Hills — North American HQ

Stellantis's North American headquarters in Auburn Hills places one of the world's largest automakers in the heart of the 248 corridor. Automotive software, electronic components, and engineering vendors need a local 248 number to engage Stellantis's Michigan procurement operations.

03

I-75 auto supplier corridor — Troy to Auburn Hills

The I-75 corridor through Troy and Auburn Hills is the densest concentration of tier-1 and tier-2 automotive suppliers in the US. A local 248 number is essential credibility for any business serving the global automotive engineering cluster based in Oakland County.

04

Oakland County's affluent consumer market — highest Midwest income
