What We Do
About Us
Established in the 1970s, Island Food Importers and Distributors Ltd is a Malta-based company that specializes in importing and distributing food products on an exclusive agency basis. Their corporate objective is to increase their share of the food market through continuous improvement and a strong commitment to quality in both their products and services.
The company operates from Triq Manwel Borg Gauci in the Tal-Ħandaq Industrial Estate in Qormi, supplying quality food products to customers across Malta and Gozo. Decades of trading in the local market mean the team understands what Maltese businesses actually need from a supplier: consistent products, reliable deliveries and terms that hold steady. Malta imports most of its food, and the food sector is not immune to global price pressures, so a dependable import partner makes a practical difference to the businesses that rely on one.
What We Import
The company works with 27 brands that are recognized worldwide for their quality and are well-established in the Maltese market. Their product range is constantly expanding and upgrading, specifically including:
- Confectionery items - Chocolate bars, premium selections and seasonal varieties, alongside cookies and wafers. Every confectionery item meets high quality standards.
- Crackers - A shelf-ready range that sits naturally beside the cookie and wafer selection.
- Sweets - Including boiled sweets and gums that customers return to.
- Machines for food service - Equipment that supports restaurants and food service operations.
- Food service products - Including burger buns and other lines that kitchens rely on day to day.
Who We Supply
The company provides its products to a wide range of clients in the food and retail sectors, specifically mentioning:
- Supermarkets
- Grocers
- Restaurants
Retailers want deliveries they can plan around; restaurants and food service operators want products that are the same every time they order. Island Food Importers and Distributors Ltd serves both, with the personal service that makes the difference. Delivery covers all of Malta and Gozo, and orders arrive on time.
Quality and Supply
Working with international suppliers the company trusts gives consistent product availability at competitive prices. All products meet Maltese and EU food safety standards, and the company works only with certified suppliers who maintain proper quality systems. For customers, that translates into stable supply and fair terms even when the wider market is under pressure.
Our Team
The company believes that its human resources are vital to achieving total success. To maintain their standard of service, they take careful consideration when hiring new employees and ensure that comprehensive ("perfect") training is provided to everyone on the team. That investment is what allows the company to offer the personal service its retail and food service customers depend on.
