Over the coming weeks a vast range of products will be ex- hibited at the Business Centre which has been made available to Sicilian companies interested in the Malta market. Virtu have invited renowned Sicilian sup- pliers to make use of the Termi- nal free of charge, provided they offer prices and services second to none. The ultimate beneficiaries of this new initiative are the Mal- tese consumer, who will be able to find great deals on quality products as well as the Maltese trade and commercial commu- nity which could establish new partnership with Sicilian organ- isations. Inventa Design, already well established suppliers of furni- ture in Malta, were entrusted with setting up the retail space at the Business Centre.
