Business Profile

As Chief Executive Officer for Salvo Grima Group, I am spearheading the Group’s strategic process of geographic diversification, innovation and expansion into new markets. More importantly, we are deepening our relationship with global brands and clients.

Today we operate in eight countries in Europe and Africa, employing over 250 professional staff in the distribution, ship supply and travel retail sectors. Our Group is family-owned and Malta-based but intensely global in outlook, reaching clients in over 50 countries.

We are the exclusive national distributors for prestigious fast-moving consumer goods brands in Libya and Rwanda. We also use our bases in North and East Africa to export goods steadily to domestic retail outlets in neighboring countries, including Central Africa. The brands we represent include Unilever, Danone, Kimberley-Clark, SC Johnson, Mars Wrigley, Mondelez International and British American Tobacco.

We also work closely with multinational travel retailers and global port operators to manage and supply travel retail outlets at cruise and ferry ports in Malta, Cyprus and Tunisia. And our Malta operations include ship supply as well as the retail and distribution of branded power tools and equipment.

We are constantly exploring new markets, ideas and opportunities, trying out new business solutions and processes to meet market needs. So, whilst our Group was established in 1860, we still feel that we are just beginning.

I initially joined Salvo Grima Group as a Sales Executive in 2003 after graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Cardiff, UK. I was subsequently promoted to Purchasing Manager in 2005, progressing to Senior Manager (Ship Supplies) in 2009. I formed part of the Group Executive Management team as Chief Commercial Officer since 2014 before being appointed CEO in 2016.
