Quinco Holdings p.l.c. has published its first Annual Report following its listing on the Malta Stock Exchange in October 2025, marking its foundational phase.
Executive Chairman Norman Aquilina described the period as the start of a “transformational journey, transiting from spin-off to scale-up.”
During the inaugural shortened period, the Group reported consolidated revenues of €13.32 million and profit before tax of €1.30 million, noting that the operating subsidiaries were transferred from Simonds Farsons Cisk p.l.c. and consolidated within Quinco Holdings p.l.c with effect from September 2025.
Both subsidiaries within the Group, Food Chain Limited and Quintano Foods Limited, reported resilient performances despite competitive market conditions, with early post spin-off indicators showing improvements in turnover and profitability.
In going forward, Food Chain remains vigilant in identifying opportunities, leveraging its existing franchising agreements whilst exploring new franchise partnerships. Quintano Foods will continue to strengthen its market presence through selective brand representations, whilst also evaluating other methods to enhance the company’s upward trajectory.
A key development underway is the Group’s new head office and logistics complex at Ħandaq, representing an investment of over €21 million, which is expected to become operational this summer. The Chairman said, “this investment conveys a strong statement of intent, showcasing the company’s commitment to our future.”
In conclusion he added “Considering this encouraging start, we are now working towards building momentum as we continue to pursue our focus on transformation and growth, be it of an organic or inorganic nature”.
