Quinco Holdings plc has published its first annual report following its listing on the Malta Stock Exchange in October 2025, marking its foundational phase.
Executive chairperson Norman Aquilina described the period as the start of a “transformational journey, transiting from spin-off to scale-up”.
During the inaugural shortened period, the group reported consolidated revenues of €13.32 million and profit before tax of €1.30 million, noting that the operating subsidiaries were transferred from Simonds Farsons Cisk plc and consolidated within Quinco Holdings plc with effect from September 2025.
Both subsidiaries within the group, Food Chain Ltd and Quintano Foods Ltd, reported resilient performances despite competitive market conditions, with early post spin-off indicators showing improvements in turnover and profitability.

Going forward, Food Chain said it remains vigilant in identifying opportunities, leveraging its existing franchising agreements while exploring new franchise partnerships.
Quintano Foods will continue to strengthen its market presence through selective brand representations, while also evaluating other methods to enhance the company’s upward trajectory.
A key development under way is the group’s new head office and logistics complex at Ħandaq, representing an investment of over €21 million, which is expected to become operational this summer.
Aquilina said: “This investment conveys a strong statement of intent, showcasing the company’s commitment to our future.”
He added: “Considering this encouraging start, we are now working towards building momentum as we continue to pursue our focus on transformation and growth, be it of an organic or inorganic nature.”
