Who We Are

Get to know our company.

Established in 1960, AMG Cold stores Ltd ® was known as Michael Spiteri Butchers. Being a pioneer in his field, Michael Spiteri had the foresight to invest in a significant business such as this. Like his father, Gordon, took the company even further by expanding the business. In the mid 90`s, AMG Meats was established and began operating from a small cold stores in Hamrun where it continued to expand till Malta joined the European Union in 2004. Then the directors decided to further expand their business, and by the end of 2006 AMG Cold Stores Ltd® was founded. This company took over the formerly well-known company Borg Cold Stores established in 1918 which was also known as Malta Cold Stores. From here AMG Cold Stores Ltd ® never looked back and continued investing to improve the cold stores and their business. The company invested in new machinery and technology both for the cold stores and as well as for the ice production, in which the company is one of the leaders in this sector. In order to accommodate the increasing demand for storage rentals.

The common denominator

All AMG products are quality assured and EU approved through rigorous checks according to HACCP principles and in compliance with the highest levels required by the veterinary department. At the end of 2006 AMG successfully implemented the HACCP-Quality-Assurance System so that all possible risks which can occur during the unloading process that can effect public health, can be located and documented in the HACCP manual. Internal audits are held regularly to monitor and control the effectiveness of this system. Furthermore, this system is structurally controlled by the Veterinarian Inspection Service, the authorized body for the certification of such quality-assurance systems. AMG buy their products from EC certified suppliers in Europe, South America, New Zealand and Asia and products are selected with the utmost care on a basis of strict purchase requirements. On arrival of the products each lot will be checked for: commercial documents and origin, hygiene and temperature of the truck/container.
