Opposition Leader Bernard Grech has continued meetings with workers in Gozo, and on Thursday visited the Magro family, who have turned a small dream into a successful enterprise.

In a statement Thursday, the PN said that a new Nationalist government will pave the way for family businesses to continue investing in the country

Grech has continued his meetings with workers in Gozo and visited Magro Brothers and Gozo Graphics.

"Hard work, insight, and a thirst for innovation are the key ingredients that transform a small dream into a successful enterprise," the statement said.

This is the story of the Magro family, who, over the course of more than a century, have turned a dream into a business that brings honour not only to themselves, but also to the name of Gozo and Malta around the world, it said.

As part of a programme of visits marking Workers' Day 2025, Grech, together with PN MPs Chris Said, Joe Giglio and Toni Bezzina, and PN candidates in Gozo Norma Camilleri, Beppe Galea, Frank Anthony Tabone and Luke Said, visited the employees of Magro Brothers and their artisan branch, Savina, in Gozo.

This company, which has grown significantly while preserving its passion for authenticity, has successfully diversified and penetrated foreign markets that now favour Gozitan products over others from various countries.

"The Magro family's commitment to innovation over time has been a vital ingredient in the company's success. Today, the business employs more than 230 people. 28 farmers supply the company with fresh produce, which is processed using machinery in which the company has invested over the years. As a result, these products are now found not only on our tables but also on the shelves of leading supermarkets abroad," the statement said.

The Magro family has also wisely invested in Savina, a branch specialising in artisanal products that have found a strong market both locally and internationally.

"The Magro Brothers' story does not end here, as the company is continuing to invest with the goal of doubling its production within the next three years," the statement said.

Grech said that this is evidence of what can be achieved through prudence and passion by those who truly believe in their product or idea.

"A worker who wants to grow and thrive will always find the PN standing by them, offering support as they strive to reach their full potential," Grech said.

He said that a future Nationalist government will invest in infrastructure to improve connectivity between the two islands, not just for passengers, but also for freight, so that business between Malta and Gozo, as well as import and export operations, become easier and more efficient.

"This is part of a new economic plan centred on excellence, through which a PN government will pave the way for those wishing to build their own businesses, free from unnecessary obstacles or bureaucratic delays that waste precious time," Grech said.

He said that if there is no investment in the country's infrastructure, it would mean that government is choosing to stop in its tracks.

"A new Nationalist government is determined to continue the serious investment initiated years ago, an investment that is still yielding benefits to this day," Grech said.

Later, Grech also visited Gozo Graphics, a printing company based in Nadur. Founder Jonathan Grech, who founded the company a few years ago, is now seeing the fruits of his investment, while also contributing to the Gozitan and Maltese economy.

"Every investment made by Gozitan and Maltese workers, whether large or small, if guided by insight and vision, bears fruit not only for them personally but also for our country," Grech said.
