In Memorium - Former MTA NSW President Mr. George Altomonte

06 Aug 2024


MTA NSW would like to express our deepest condolences on the passing of Mr. George Altomonte, former MTA NSW President, inaugural MTAA President, and a distinguished leader in the Australian Automotive Industry.



Mr. Altomonte dedicated over 60 years of his life to the industry, beginning with the opening of a workshop in 1956 that laid the foundation for the Alto Group. Today, the Alto Group stands as a pillar of Sydney’s retail automotive industry, employing hundreds of people and serving the community with unparalleled dedication.



Mr. Altomonte became very active within the MTA NSW community when he joined as a member with Alto BMW Pennant Hills on June 29, 1964. His involvement with MTA NSW grew significantly as he served as a Board Member and Governing Councillor, eventually becoming MTA NSW President from 1984 to 1986. Following his presidency, Mr. Altomonte played a pivotal role in founding the Motor Trades Association of Australia and became its inaugural President in September 1988. He continued his pioneering efforts by helping to establish the MTAA Super Fund on May 21, 1989, and served on its Board of Directors.

We remember Mr. Altomonte for his unwavering dedication and remarkable contributions to the automotive industry. He was a true gentleman and an industry leader whose legacy will continue to inspire. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and all who mourn his passing.

May he rest in peace.
