Ottawa, Ontario --  BEMAC Auto Body is celebrating 50 years as family-owned collision repair business.

Founded in 1960, the business was purchased by Gaetano Frangione and his brother-in-law Frank Palermo in 1975. Now led by Gaetano and his sons, Danny and Joe, the business is part of the  BEMAC Collision Group, which also boasts seven other collision facilities, as well as two satellite locations and two dedicated calibration facilities.

In a speech delivered during an anniversary celebration held at the flagship location last week, Joe credited his father and uncle with establishing a firm foundation on which the company was able to flourish. "[Frank and Gaetano] brought with them a simple philosophy: treat people right, do quality work, and always stand behind your word."

"On a personal note, I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked side-by-side with my father since 1994, with my brother Danny since 2009, and now with my son since 2022," Joe added. "The same passion and values that Gaetano and Frank instilled in us continue to drive our work today.”

Joe went on to thank the company's loyal customers,  business partners and employees. "To our customers and industry partners, thank you for your continued trust. To our team members — past and present — your dedication and passion have shaped everything we’ve built. To our families, your unwavering support has carried us through every challenge and triumph."

Joe added that the company would remain committed to innovation, excellence and serving the Ottawa community with integrity and a personal touch in the future.

“Thank you for being part of this journey," he said. "Here's to the road ahead!"
