About Us


Company Profile

Originally named Caruana’s Ironmongery, the business was established in the 1950’s by Joseph Caruana (iż-Żużu) as a retailer of hardware and household goods. This has now become a well-established retail outlet in the port town of Birzebbugia and is now in its third generation. We stock a vast array of goods and pride ourselves on being able to cater for most of our clients’ requirements. This website offers a real-time showcase and is constantly being updated.
Ship Supplies
As a result of the development of the Malta Freeport Terminals in the Port of Marsaxlokk which is a mere 1km from our main stores, our activity has over the years been extended to supplying vessels in the nearby port and also in Valletta harbour and Malta Shipyards with deck, galley and engine stores, provisions , British Admiralty Charts and nautical publications. OPL supplies are also carried out by launch.
Over 30,000 different items are available on stock in our stores and this is further enhanced by a network of reliable local and overseas suppliers thus enabling us to effect deliveries of most items even if not available from stock.
We have a customer orientated philosophy which often takes us beyond the supply of material and we frequently assist vessels in coordinating repair and maintenance works and rental of equipment. This has led us to establishing excellent relations with reputable ship owners and ship management companies with vessels operating in the area.
