Famalco Group
Mallia brothers joined together not just to establish their company's name and carry on the previously established family business but to see it soar to unprecedented heights. The Group, which officially started back in December of 1994, set up its business in the fruit importation and distribution sector and marked itself as a leading agent within the field. However, saying that the company's journey took off around three decades ago would be merely an understatement. The current Board of Directors are the third generation taking up the long-established fruit importation business set up shortly after World War II. The three brothers' father and grandfather, owners of Antonio Mallia & Sons, carried out their business by humbly selling fruit in a modest stall along the busy Ta' Liesse Hill in Valletta, on the Grand Harbour waterfront. The high quality of the generated produce enabled the business to become a pioneer in the distribution of local and imported fresh fruits and vegetables, which paved a seamless road from Fruitland to other areas.
