In 2023, Michael Attard Ltd is proud to reach another milestone by celebrating its 85th anniversary. Since its founding in 1938, the family-run business has become synonymous with the automotive industry in Malta.
From a humble beginning, the late Michael Attard Sr. founded the Michael Attard group in 1938 by trading oil and tyres. The company has grown over the years, representing several brands, most notably PEUGEOT automobiles since 1949 – making it one of the oldest franchises for the brand outside of France. Michael Attard Jr. has been at the helm of operations since 1976, who along with his brother John Attard, has helped the company grow into one of Malta’s leading automotive representatives.
“This milestone is an astounding testament to the hard work put in by our dedicated teams throughout these 85 years. Our history has provided a strong pediment to help us leap into the next generation of this ever-changing industry, preparing us for any challenges that lie ahead.” Michael Attard
The automotive industry is constantly evolving, and the company aims to be at the forefront of the customers’ needs. As the electric market keeps pushing forward, Michael Attard Ltd is technologically set up to play its part in the current energy transition, thanks to its multi-energy offering.
As the firm moves forward, it will continue to build on its strengths, innovating and evolving to meet the ever-changing needs of the market. Michael Attard Ltd is grateful for its customers, suppliers, and staff for their loyalty over the years.
Reaching its 85th anniversary has been a fruitful journey for Michael Attard Ltd, with CITROËN and OPEL joining its portfolio in 2013 and 2020, respectively. EUROREPAR and VEEDOL (a motor oil originally imported by Michael Attard Sr, which returned to the local market in 2017) also form part of the Michael Attard Ltd portfolio. While the company has grown, its core vision remains the same: to instil creativity and invest in new ideas while sustaining growth in all brands it represents.
