Mizzi & Sons Marketing Group operates in the field of sales, distribution and marketing of a wide range of FMCG, primarily to the retail sector (supermarkets, grocers, etc.) and also to the foodservice sector. It is an offshoot of Alf Mizzi & Sons Ltd, which has been involved in food importation since 1915.
