White Brothers Ltd is a Maltese corporation, wholly owned and operated by the successors of its founder, Angelo Ciantar.
The company owes its name to its founder’s first truck – an American-built White model 704 – which earned Angelo Ciantar the nickname ‘Tal-‘White’, by which the family business became popularly known thereafter.
