RECC (RECC LTD) is a Malta-based commercial equipment distributor and service provider serving the HoReCa (hotels, restaurants, catering) and retail/supermarket sectors across the islands of Malta and Gozo. Founded in 2011 and operating from a single showroom and warehouse facility in Qormi, the company employs between 11 and 50 staff and positions itself as one of the leading suppliers of refrigeration, catering, cold storage, and kitchen equipment on the island. Its business combines equipment distribution, professional installation, and a 24/7 after-sales monitoring and maintenance service delivered under a direct-to-consumer B2B model with appointment-based showroom consultations.

The product portfolio spans over 20 international equipment brands that RECC distributes in Malta, including Hoshizaki (commercial refrigeration and ice), Convotherm and Merrychef (combi and high-speed ovens), Eversys (espresso), Kastel (warewashing), Costan (part of Epta Group, commercial refrigeration), Baron (professional kitchens), Everlasting, Fri-Jado, JOSPER, Moretti Forni, Pujadas, Tecnoinox, Prismafood, Venix, Wiesheu, Vulcano Gres, Elangrill, Atollspeed, Olis, Offcar, Frymaster, Morello, and Polaris. The catalog is organized across Retail and HoReCa segments and covers horeca refrigeration, bar accessories, tabletop equipment, cooking equipment, kitchenware, dishwashers, drinkware, food displays, preparation equipment, stainless steel furniture, gastronorm pans, buffetware, crockery, beverage equipment, tableware, retail refrigeration, cold rooms, lighting, magnetic flooring, and food shelving. Service capabilities include tailor-made consultation and design, professional installation, and ongoing maintenance supported by a specialized 24/7 monitoring team. Documented enterprise customers include Hyatt, SPAR (Valletta), Welbees Supermarket, and Maypole Supermarket, with project work completed in 2025 across both hospitality and supermarket verticals.

RECC's go-to-market is a direct showroom model in Qormi where customers book appointments for personalized consultations, supported by digital channels (website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) and project case studies. Revenue is generated from three streams: hardware sales of branded equipment (with unit pricing and sale-item discounts of 25-75% off retail), professional installation services, and multi-year maintenance and repair contracts. Pricing for installation and service packages is custom-quoted based on client specifications. The company is privately held by undisclosed owners, has no disclosed funding rounds, and shows no evidence of external institutional investment or M&A activity. It currently maintains job openings across technical, delivery, storekeeping, and sales roles, indicating active scaling of its service and distribution capacity within the Maltese market.
