Cortex
Cortex Ltd was established in 1996 by Robert Micallef and his Ray Micallef, his cousin and business partner. It was first established with just eleven products, when Robert came across a British company that wished to export hair care products from the UK to Malta. Business flourished slowly but surely due to the limited number of products supplied, which were nonetheless of very good quality. After searching various product lines for quality, in late 2004, the company adopted a new product line. Since then, the company has expanded its product offering to various reputable and reliable hair care brands. After ten years of business partnership, Ray and Robert separated ways and Cortex Ltd was bought out by Robert. With the help of the company's loyal employees, sales increased and the business continued to flourish. Today, Cortex Ltd is Malta's leading supplier and distributor of the major brands and top products in the hairdressing sector.
