The Mizzi Organisation has appointed Daniel Aquilina as its CEO.
Daniel Aquilina will lead the conglomerate as Chief Executive Officer, having previously served as its Chief Financial Officer.
His previous role as CFO will be filled by Darren Saliba, who previously served as the company’s Head of Finance.
Both appointments take effect as of April 2, Mizzi Finance Organisation, the group’s financing arm, said in a company statement on Monday.
The decision to appoint Aquilina as senior management leader marks a major change in direction for the Mizzi Organisation, which previously operated without a unified corporate executive structure.
“The Board is confident that Mr Aquilina and Mr Saliba, whose unwavering commitment and dedication have contributed to the growth of the group over the years, will continue to guide and strengthen the group’s strategic objectives and overall performance,” the company said.
Mizzi Organisation is a major Maltese conglomerate with interests in multiple business sectors, owning companies such as Continental Cars and Muscats Motors, General Soft Drinks and Arkadia, among others.
The company, one of Malta’s largest privately-owned groups, employs over 1,000 people across its various businesses. In 2024 it reported pre-tax profits of €8.6 million on revenues of €231 million. Net finance costs jumped to €6.4 million that year, up from €5.9 million in 2023.
It has a €45m bond issued through the Malta Stock Exchange that matures in 2031.
