James Arhin, National Chairman of the Association of Automobile Artisans, Ghana
The Association of Automobile Artisans, Ghana (Auto Gh), a leading voice for skilled automotive professionals, has officially announced its new national leadership and outlined ambitious strategic plans to revolutionize Ghana’s automotive sector.
Founded in 2019 in Kumasi, Auto Gh has grown from a small workshop into a nationally recognized association, representing over 200 artisans, engineers, and technicians.
Speaking at the announcement event, James Arhin, newly elected National Chairman, emphasised the association’s vision to elevate automotive artisanship in Ghana and West Africa through a combination of certification programmes, advanced training, digital innovation, and sustainable practices.
“We are inviting all stakeholders, local and international, to join hands with Auto Gh as we raise the standard of automobile craftsmanship in Ghana.
“This is more than an association; it is a movement of change-makers, innovators, and professionals committed to building a better future for our country and continent,” Arhin said.
Auto Gh’s future roadmap focuses on critical areas such as professional certification, the launch of a digital platform for mobile mechanics and towing services, real-time vehicle diagnostics, and policy advocacy within the automotive sector.
The Association is also calling on development partners, automotive manufacturers, tool suppliers, academic institutions, financial institutions, and government agencies to collaborate with them in building a future-ready workforce to drive industrial growth and environmental sustainability.
Auto Gh’s new strategic direction is anchored on three pillars:
Excellence – Delivering top-tier automotive services with precision and reliability.
Empowerment – Creating career growth opportunities and promoting economic independence among artisans.
Innovation – Championing eco-conscious practices and leading the industry’s digital transformation.
These core values reflect Auto Gh’s mission to be Ghana’s premier association for automotive professionals while advancing national development through sustainable practices.
