From humble beginnings to a pillar of Malta’s building industry, RA & Sons Manufacturing Ltd has grown through grit, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to quality and community. Our story begins in Gozo, but today, it reaches across the Maltese Islands—and continues to shape the landscape of construction and corporate responsibility alike.
Our journey started in 1972, when Joseph Attard founded Gozo Blocks—the first manufacturer of concrete bricks on the island. A builder by trade, Joseph recognised a gap in the local supply chain and took a bold step forward, inspired by by conversations with Malta’s own Blokrete.
He imported his first brick-making machine and began laying the foundation—quite literally—for what would become one of Gozo’s most enduring success stories.
Years of determination followed. As demand for high-quality materials grew, the company expanded, rebranding as JCR in the early 1980s and importing global brands like Sika. In 2012, Joseph’s son Raymond Attard took the reins and officially established RA & Sons Manufacturing Ltd, opening a new era of growth, diversification, and innovation. Today, Raymond leads the company with the same passion his father instilled, honouring a family tradition that spans generations.
At RA & Sons, we don’t just supply building materials—we create them. Our manufacturing operations in Gozo and distribution centre in Burmarrad support a wide range of construction solutions, from structural systems to decorative finishes. We’re proud to offer locally developed, critically acclaimed products including:
Through a wide distributorship, our products are trusted by hardware stores and builders throughout Malta and Gozo. Wherever you are on the islands, quality RA materials are never far away.
Since day one, our mission has remained unchanged: to deliver superior quality at fair prices. We believe that excellence should be accessible and that our role in Malta’s building sector comes with a responsibility to lead by example—in innovation, in integrity, and in service.
RA & Sons is proud to be more than just a manufacturer. We're a company deeply rooted in our community, committed to giving back and uplifting others. Nowhere is this more visible than in our annual initiative—the RA Calendar.
The Colours of Malta Calendar is a year-long celebration of compassion, culture, and community action. Each month, we spotlight a different local organisation or cause—from Hospice Malta’s life-affirming palliative care to the environmental work of Nature Trust Malta, and from the support of children’s education by ACICA to the resilience offered by the OASI Foundation for addiction recovery.
This initiative isn’t just about awareness—it’s about action. Through partnerships, donations, and outreach, we support these organisations not only with funding, but by sharing their stories and amplifying their missions. For us, the calendar is a call to empathy and a symbol of how businesses can play an active role in creating a stronger, more compassionate Malta.
Having recently celebrated 50 years in business, we’re proud of how far we’ve come—and even more excited about where we’re headed. The journey from Gozo Blocks to RA & Sons Manufacturing Ltd has been one of perseverance, innovation, and community spirit. Now, we’re looking to the future with the same values that built our name: quality, honesty, and heart.
We honour our heritage by staying future-focused—investing in new materials, sustainable practices, and community-led initiatives that make a tangible difference.
Whether you're a builder, a business, or a local resident, when you work with RA & Sons, you're not just choosing a supplier—you’re joining a story that began over 50 years ago, and one that continues to be written every day with pride, purpose, and a deep love for our islands.
