In 1971, Loris Kessel anticipated the direction the exclusive sports car world would take. From that intuition an efficient, structured group was born that still bears his name today, Kessel. Loris, after a driving career which culminated in Formula 1, made the decision to set up his business in his hometown, Lugano, taking one step at a time:
It all started with a small structure dedicated to finishing, later came a workshop, then came a body shop, and from there relationships were forged with the most prestigious car manufacturers. Today the Kessel group, led by his son Ronnie, has 100 employees as part of three distinct souls which, together, give life to a reality which is unique. Created both for those who love driving and for the most demanding collectors.
