Central to the growth registered along much of its history has been the relationship the Debono Group has with Toyota, a relationship considered to be a special one for both organisations.
Michael Debono, who started the business in 1952, had imported and retailed the first Toyota motorcar to ever be sold in Europe. Little did anyone imagine at the time that Toyota would go on to be a world leading automotive OEM. Over the years, the Debono Group focused much of its efforts to make Toyota the number one motorcar brand on the Maltese islands, a position it continues to enjoy up until this day.
The business is, however, much more than just a Toyota dealership. Indeed, the company has grown and evolved, seeing three generations of the Debono family lead the business forward. Over the years, the company ventured into various areas including the selling and servicing of commercial vehicles and motorcycles. It also invested in an engineering company focused on delivering storage and racking solutions and in a technology company that delivers customer experience solutions. Adding to this, it built up a strong and diverse property portfolio.
At its core, the Debono Group continues to demonstrate the entrepreneurial spirit that has always set it apart, appreciating the power of human endeavour and the importance of always changing with the times.
