A family affair
Back in 1949, Rose and Joseph Schwaller decided to start their business. A workshop quickly opened its doors and mechanical work could finally begin.
In 1974, Pierre and Louis Schwaller joined the family business, marking the start of a new era with expanded premises and the addition of the Fiat brand in 1979.
Today, Patrick and Alexandre Schwaller carry on this tradition of excellence in Ponthaux/Grolley, proudly representing Alfa Romeo, Jeep, Fiat, Abarth, BYD and Fiat Professional.
