history
Kenny's Auto-Center was opened in 1976 by Kenny Eichenberger in Buchs (ZH) for the sale of used and imported Simca and Talbot new cars. The Japanese automobile brand Subaru soon followed . In November 1984 the company opened its first own car center in Dällikon (ZH). In 1986 Kenny's Auto-Center AG became an authorized partner for the sale and service of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars.
In 1996 Nicolas Hayek and Mercedes-Benz chose Kenny Eichenberger and Thomas Baggenstos (KETO) as the first sales partner of the automobile brand smart. In 1998 the largest smart center in Switzerland with the smart tower opened in Wallisellen under the name "KETO Autocenter AG" . In 2001 Kenny's Auto-Center AG expanded and opened a new car dealership in Wettingen. The new location gave the authorized partner for the sale and service of Mercedes-Benz and smart cars the opportunity to build a modern new building. In 2012, Marc Eichenberger, son of Kenny Eichenberger, joined the partner company KETO Autocenter AG as a sales consultant. In 2014 he was responsible for the introduction of the Mercedes-Benz brand and at the beginning of 2016 he took over the management of “KETO Autocenter AG”. In September 2016, KETO and Kenny's Auto-Center AG merged for strategic reasons, and since then they have been operating under the “Kenny's” brand.
