On Tuesday 7th of October 2025, the Malta Stock Exchange hosted the ‘Ringing of the Bell’ event to mark the listing of 36 million shares in Quinco Holdings p.l.c. (“Quinco”). The listing of Quinco is the last step in the spin-off of the food beverage segment approved by the shareholders of Simonds Farsons Cisk p.l.c. (“Farsons”) at the annual general meeting held on 26 June 2025. This follows and is similar to the successful spin-off of Farson’s property segment that created Trident Estates p.l.c. in 2018.
In his welcome speech, Malta Stock Exchange Chairman Joseph Portelli augured Quinco and its management a successful commencement to its listing on the Malta Stock Exchange.
Louis Farrugia, Chairman of Farsons, provided a brief history behind the spin-off of the food beverage segment and expressed his trust in the management of Quinco in taking the business forward.
In his reply, Norman Aquilina, Quinco CEO, said that the listing was the first step in the plan intended for Quinco and the future of this branch of the business.
The event was attended by members of Quinco and their advisers.
