Since 1963

A third-generation family business, grown from a single Maltese chandlery into the island's leading supplier.

Established in 1963 by the late Paul Gauci Borda, the company has been developed over the decades by Myra Gauci Borda and a team of dedicated, skilled employees — and is now in its third generation as a family-owned business.

Gauci Borda operates retail outlets in Gżira and Msida, a warehouse and distribution centre in San Gwann, and an online store — supplying an extensive array of products and services, locally and internationally.
