History & Future of The Ciantar Holdings Company

The Ciantar Holdings Company has a rich history dating back 125 years to 1889 when Malta was known as an island of traders and a strategic naval base. It was on this platform that Lawrence Ciantar began his small venture, providing boat taxi services across the harbors on low water vessels. With the involvement of Lawrence’s brothers, the business grew into a family enterprise that flourished through generations.

Today, we continue to innovate and improve, building on our long history of success. Our interests have expanded and evolved, and we are recognized for our creative flair in various industries. Our main investments currently focus on real estate, media, and marketing, where we bring our unique expertise and experience to the table.

In the real estate sector, we seek out promising properties with great potential for restoration, conservation, and development. We are committed to maintaining high standards of quality and sustainability in all our projects, and to creating lasting value for our partners and stakeholders.

In media and marketing, we leverage our deep understanding of the industry and our creative flair to provide innovative solutions and services. Our aim is to help businesses thrive by developing effective branding and marketing strategies, delivering high-quality content, and creating engaging digital experiences.

Our self-governing structure as a family office is what sets us apart in the market. This independence allows us to resist external investor pressures, short-term fashion trends, and other tempting business fads. As a result, we can take calculated risks in line with our strict vision and decided business plan.

Looking ahead, we aim to expand our current business network by establishing profitable connections across our partners’ industries. We remain dedicated to pursuing new opportunities and driving growth while staying true to our core values of independence, innovation, and excellence.
