NORIVA LTD

What NORIVA LTD does

NORIVA LTD is a Malta-based, family-run importer and distributor of professional hair care, beauty, and salon products, established for over 50 years and operating from Mosta. The company serves beauticians, hairdressers, and beauty salons across Malta and Gozo as a one-stop supplier, distributing premium international brands such as Dikson (hair care), Sans Soucis (beauty/skincare), Parlux and WAHL Professional (hair tools), ETI, Moser, Andis, Efalock, Acca Kappa, Leader (tools and brushes), Italwax and Sterex (hair removal and electrolysis), Phytoblue, EspressoTime, Addmino-18, The Inglorious Mariner (specialty hair care), and REM UK (salon furniture). It holds exclusive agency status for several of these core brands in the Maltese market.

The company's product offering spans three principal categories — hair products, beauty products, and salon furniture/machines — supplemented by a professional tools line covering dryers, clippers, brushes, and scissors. Sales are conducted through a B2B sales-led motion combining an e-commerce storefront at noriva.com.mt, direct phone-based customer engagement, and direct delivery to salons across both Maltese islands, with after-sales maintenance and repair services as a key differentiator versus pure-play distributors.

NORIVA is a privately held, family-owned Maltese private limited company with no disclosed external funding, parent entity, or subsidiaries. It employs between 1 and 10 people, has no disclosed revenue, and operates exclusively within the domestic Maltese market. The business model is straightforward product distribution: import and resell branded professional products at quoted rates to professional salon clients, with no disclosed pricing tiers or subscription model.
