The Trivett Group of companies, recently purchased by the Inchcape Group, has sold its Blacktown Honda and VW dealership to the Alto Group of companies.
The new ownership took effect on Saturday..
The Alto Group was established in 1956 by George Altomonte and his son Anthony Altomonte is the group’s managing director. The company is a truly family-run operation with many family members filling senior roles in the group.
George Altomonte established his first dealership in Chatswood in 1956, at the age of 20. In just over 12 months he opened his second dealership, this time in Gordon, and as business continued to grow rapidly in the late 1960s, Altomonte’s Alto Group opened its first Ford dealership.
Such was the success of the dealership, that Alto Group has continued to grow and now employs some 500 people.
George Altomonte was also heavily involved in the industry and in the establishment of the AADA and the purchase of its head office in Canberra.
Altomonte spent many years as president of the NSW MTA, and many more years on dealer councils. Altomonte and the Alto Group are truly part of the foundation stones of the Sydney automotive dealership industry.
The group now has dealerships across the Sydney metropolitan area with brands ranging from Holden, Audi, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Jaguar, Land Rover, Skoda, Volvo, and HSV.
With the new acquisition the Altomonte’s add both the VW and Honda brands to their portfolio.
