The company traces its roots back to 1928 when Rosaria Galea opened her haberdashery shop in Valletta.
Succeeded by her son Francesco, he diversified the business into the manufacture and repair of tubular steel pushchairs and prams. Later expansion led to the first tubular steel furniture manufacturing in Malta and in 1960 the company’s premises was expanded into one of the very first factories at the Mriehel Industrial Estate.
When Francesco’s four children joined the company and started importing small household appliances and white goods, another important foundation of the business was laid.
The children, led by the eldest son John, took over the enterprise when Francesco passed away in 1979 and in 1986 the operations were incorporated into a limited liability company under the name of Oxford House Ltd.
Furniture manufacturing and importation continued throughout the 80s and more expansion came in 1990 with the increase in capacity for knock down swivel chairs and office furniture.
