About Me

Walter Frey inherited his father's auto dealership group. In 1926, Emil Frey opened an automotive repair shop that became the Emil Frey Group. The company is now the largest auto dealer in Europe with operations in service, dealerships, and financing. Like his father, Walter was an accomplished race car driver. Walter controls the company but his interests also extend to politics and sports. He served in the Swiss parliament from 1987 to 2001; he is also president of Zurich ice hockey club ZSC Lions. He once held a 50% stake in now-defunct free weekly Zurich newspaper Zuri-Woche, and sat on the board of Swiss pharmaceuticals giant Roche.
