The founder of KESI SA

Who leads KESI

"Every dent is a technical challenge. Our goal is always the same:restore the vehicle as if the damage had never existed."

After years as a panel beater in Bergamo body shops, in 1991Salvatore Catania founds Carrozzeria P&C. In 1995 he starts CarServices SRL and develops the K90 technique: a revolutionary methodto remove dents and hail damage without disassembly or repainting.From that insight KESI is born, now active across Switzerland andEurope with 97 specialised PDR technicians.
