Kingston– Mercedes-Benz Canada is proud to announce that Kingston’s van Herpt Motors Dealer Principal, Al van Herpt and Mercedes-Benz Canada President, Marcus Breitschwerdt jointly broke ground yesterday to mark the official beginning of the construction of a completely new stand alone premise for the Mercedes-Benz brand. The new exclusive facility will be erected at 1432 Bath Road, on one of the busiest business arteries of Kingston. The smart brand will also now be sold out of this new location.
Van Herpt Motors has been a household name in Kingston since 1954. Founded by Dealer Principal Alphonsus (Al) van Herpt, it has always been a family-owned and family-operated business. It was on April 1st, 1993 that Al van Herpt took over the Mercedes-Benz brand. It shared at that time a modest building on Portsmouth Avenue with another brand.
Fifteen years later, three generations of van Herpt family members currently run the day-to-day operations under one roof at 1468 Bath Road.
In November 2008, the Mercedes-Benz and smart brands will be housed in a new state-of-the-art 11,000 square foot stand alone facility. The full-fledged sales, parts and service dealership has been designed to fully meet the Mercedes-Benz Autohaus building standards; it will showcase the well-established look and feel of many of the other Mercedes-Benz dealerships across Canada and around the world.
Marcus Breitschwerdt, President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Canada said, “The excitement level was high today as we helped Al van Herpt and his son, Sales Manager Ed van Herpt’s turn over the first few shovels of dirt on the site of the new facility. Both Al and Ed have recognized the current and future growth of our Mercedes-Benz and smart brands and have great plans to further develop them in the Kingston market. This new facility is a true commitment to their existing and future customers; it will allow them to offer unparalleled service and make a lot more room for our impressive product line-up, now and tomorrow.”
