In 1861, Paul Cutajar established a trading business from his residence at 20 Strada Reale in Valletta, focusing on the importation of wheat and cereals. He also played an active role in the coal trade, acquiring a small steamer, Nave Elena, to support his operations. As the business flourished, he rebranded the firm as P. Cutajar & Co. in 1865.
The company expanded rapidly, securing key distributorship agreements, including Martini & Rossi (1880) and Benedictine (1886)—both of which remain integral to the firm’s portfolio today.
Now in its fifth generation, Sarah Zammit Cutajar, CEO, continues to lead the business with the same dedication and values that have guided her family for generations.
Deeply rooted in tradition yet forward-looking, Sarah is committed to preserving the company’s foundations of trust, integrity, and respect for heritage, while driving transformation and innovation to ensure continued growth in a changing world.
