 Frieder Kempe is a businessman active in both his native Bavaria and in Canada, with
investments including real estate, agriculture, gravel pits, major motorway service
centres and health products. Mr. Kempe and his wife Irene first visited Canada in 1978.
They became permanent residents and landed immigrants in 1985. All four of their
children, aged 18 - 22, fluent in both German and English, are Canadian citizens, born
and educated in Canada. The family resides in Coquitlam, B.C., a Vancouver suburb.
Mr. Kempe's father was a visionary German businessman who, in the aftermath of World
War II, anticipated the reconstruction and expansion of Germany's Autostrada and the
need of major oil companies to secure firm title to service station locations. He assisted
in assembling these properties and also acquired gravel pits to supply the construction.
Frieder, beginning in his teen-years and after leaving university, worked in and
subsequently became instrumental in building the family business.
