A brief history of Foss.

For over 60 years and across three generations, the Foss Group of Companies has been at the frontier of mobility. Since our founding in 1962, Roy built his business to embody his passion for cars, his obsession with creative innovation, and his gift for connecting with people. Six decades on, we’re just as excited about the future of mobility as we were on day one.

Today

The Foss Group of Companies remains a Canadian, family-owned enterprise, spanning four business platforms: Roy Foss, operating three auto dealerships across the Greater Toronto Area, including Canada’s highest volume Cadillac store; Foss National Leasing, the largest independently owned fleet leasing and management company in the country, managing 50,000 vehicles coast to coast; Foss Ventures, the group’s investment platform focused on the mobility technology that moves us next; and Foss Real Estate, which owns and develops the group’s property holdings.

Let's go places.

A leader in Canadian mobility since 1962: automotive retail, commercial fleet management, and investments in tech that moves us next.
