The group behind
the brands you rely on.
Azzopardi Food Group imports, makes, moves and sells food across the Maltese islands. Five brands. One group standing behind them.
Who we are
Fifty years of getting food where it needs to be.
It began with Valhmor Borg in 1975, importing fresh and frozen food for the catering trade. Azzopardi Holdings acquired the business in 2011 and grew it using the strengths already inside the wider group.
We are a group of companies, not a single company. Each brand runs its own business and keeps its own character. What they share is the standard behind them.
