Contract & Airline Catering

The Kore Group provides catering to all the public hospitals in Malta, a number of nursing homes, all Starbucks outlets in Malta and to airline companies. The Group uses state-of-the-art technology to serve over 9,000 meals a day, making it the largest operation of its type in the country.

Kore operates at the new state of the art factory in Bulebel, Malta, sitting on 21,000 sqm of land, referred to as The Food Factory. Launched in 2016, with an investment of €26 million, the factory comprises specialised industrial grade kitchens (including a fully functional certified Halal kitchen). The Group is by far the largest catering firm in Malta, with a fully certified team of people, and with an operating capacity to generate over 50,000 meals daily. Kore is in the process of further expanding its facilities by 1,800sqm over four floors which will result in an additional 6,000sqm of additional kitchen space.

Due to the experience and versatility acquired throughout the last 21 years, servicing a range of client contracts, the Group has acquired valuable catering industry knowledge thus being placed at a vantage point from where it can look ahead to a bright and prosperous future in the industry. We pride ourselves in the versatility of our contract catering operations to serve the needs of each individual facility.

Kore Group started providing in-flight catering services to Air Malta, Malta’s national airline in 2006. Since then, the airline business has continued to develop and over the years has successfully serviced 34 international airlines, which include but are not limited to Emirates, Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa German Airlines Ryanair, Qatar Airways, Air China, and Air India on a regular or ad hoc basis.

The meals provided by Kore Group are produced within our state-of-the-art Central Production Unit (‘CPU’) at the Food Factory, which is equipped with the latest technology and equipment and which is operated using the highest quality and hygiene standards.

The CPU within the Food Factory in Bulebel mainly operates to accommodate the regular business orders with permanent standby operations and procedures to cater for requests that may arise, such as the emergency/quick meals or a replacement of a large number of meals which are or are not in line with proposed menus. The CPU is self-sufficient in having its own butchery, larders, kitchens, bakery, packaging facilities, assembly lines, pastry production, and gelateria together with a dedicated space for Research and Development (‘R&D’). Organisational activities include food production; assembly; packing and delivery of meals whilst ensuring both quality of design and conformance to quality requirements.

Kore Group also operates two large satellite fully equipped kitchens. These kitchens serve to prepare fresh food on site for the respective residents and patients, and also store food which is prepared from the CPU in dedicated cold rooms. These satellite kitchens also service as part of the contingency planning in the event of a major disaster in the CPU to ensure business continuity.
