About Us

The Camilleri group is a family owned business, governed nowadays by a board of Directors, which draws its origin from 1843, when it opened a confectionery shop in the heart of the capital city Valletta. For many years, the Camilleri group was associated exclusively in Malta with confectionery business, as wholesaler and retailer. However, over the years the business diversified to include also outside catering, fashion and apparel retailing.

The diversification strategy of the Group has resulted in significant revenue growth, especially after the recent acquisition of CYKA Ltd (Jules, Morgan, Promod) and JP Caruana confectionary (distributor of Haribo, Tangerine, Tilleys, Walkers of London, Baronie, Duc d'O, Lees of Scotland).
