Start of a Business

The business was taken up 1950 , when his son Emanuel joined his father and commenced manufacturing Helwa tat-Tork, based on an old recipe passed from generation to generation in the Micallef’s family. Il-Helwa tat-Tork which starting carrying the Camel logo become the leading brand and a household name in the islands of Malta. Emanuel,in later years ,was joined by members of the family, expanding further the range of products including a  variety of mediterrenean cuisine products ranging from locally produced Bigilla, a variety of flavoured dips and a range of cheeses. The firm also embarked on the importation of a number of quality products to compliment their range of local produced portfolio.

In 1995, the company moved to larger premises Zebbug to accommodate further the production and storage of an increased volume due to high demand  of their products in the local market.
