Welcome to Vernons

Vernons is operated by a committed team of young professionals, under the leadership of Dominic Borg, a third-generation director from the Borg family. Following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, who were adept at predicting consumer trends to provide quality and value to their customers, Dominic is propelling the company forward through innovative strategies and expansion efforts. This is in line with the Borg family’s longstanding vision of excellence and service.

Our History

For over 60 years, Vernons has been actively involved in food production and imports. Today we steadfastly retain that position, while clearly looking towards the trends of the future.

1950

Vernons has been a family concern since it first opened its doors in the 1950s. The company – then linked to the Borg Cold Stores Group – was originally launched by Valhmor Borg, who pioneered in various industries. It was called Vernon Foods.

In 1969 it was bought and taken over by Martin Borg, Valhmor’s son. Back then the company produced a limited range of tomato products, including kunserva (tomato spread). In the years that followed, though, Martin expanded the company’s operations and moved it from its original location to its current base in Mriehel, where the product line grew to include canned peas, corned beef and other tomato-based goods.

1999

In 1999, Martin turned his attention to food importation and introduced a variety of own and international brands to the local market, and has since expanded substantially. This has been very much in-line with the Borg’s vision to work with leading international brands and provide a greater choice of products to their consumers.

2024

Today that same Mriehel factory is still in operation. Its focus remains tomato products, as well as sauces, condiments and items adapted to the specific needs of the catering industry. Additionally we offer pre-packed sliced goods, and we are developing our convenience range even further.
