In a significant business move that’s set to shake up Malta’s food industry, Carmelo Abela Group has announced the complete acquisition of Mac Bake, a beloved name in the local bakery and confectionery scene.
This acquisition sees the Abela family business solidifying its presence in the market as a powerhouse of food importation, distribution, and now, production.
Previously holding a 50% stake in Mac Bake, Carmelo Abela Group’s decision to take full ownership marks a new chapter for both companies. The move aligns with the company’s growth strategy, which aims to expand its influence across Malta’s thriving food sector.
“Mac Bake has always been a brand we believed in,” said Steve Abela, one of the company directors. “By taking full ownership, we can ensure that its legacy of quality and innovation continues while exploring new ways to grow its offerings.”
Mac Bake has long been a household name, supplying premium products to the bakery and confectionary industry. Known for its focus on supplying the most high end products in its section, the developing business has a significant loyal customer base.
This change will pave the way for more streamlined operations, allowing Carmelo Abela Group to integrate Mac Bake’s production capabilities with its extensive distribution network.
“This isn’t just about business; it’s about bringing the best service and quality to the food service community,” added Pierre Abela, the other company director. “We’re excited about what’s ahead.”
With this bold step, Carmelo Abela Group is poised to not only enhance Mac Bake’s legacy but also strengthen its own position as a leader in Malta’s food industry. Keep an eye on this space, as the next chapter for Mac Bake promises to be as sweet as its famed pastries.
Carmelo Abela is one of the oldest food importation companies in Malta, behind a vast line of top products on consumer shelves across the islands.
The company is equipped to store and distribute food products of all temperatures, and has established a reputation locally for its after-sale service and expertise in the food industry.
