Farsons Cisk Plc is a Maltese brewery, producing and supplying beer locally and also exporting oversees. In 1929 Simonds Brewery which was based in the UK and imported beer to Malta, and Farrugia & Sons, which had established a brewery in Hamrun just a year before merged into Simonds Farsons Limited. In the same year Marquis John Scicluna established the Malta Export Brewery, and later on in 1948 they merged together with Simonds Farsons to create Simonds Farsons Cisk and moved to their Mriehel brewery just two years later. From that point on the company continued successfully growing and developing, even winning several awards for their beers which are recognized as one of Malta's best local products.

Carm Lino Spiteri was born in Valletta on 9 September 1932. He was also known by his nickname Iċ-Ċumpaqq. In 1955 he graduated as an architect and in 1970 he entered the political scene.

As an architect, Spiteri was involved in a number of projects, including the construction of the Malta International Airport at Gudja and the conversion of the Sacra Infermeria in Valletta to the Mediterranean Conference Centre.

Spiteri's political career began in 1970, when he was approached by both George Borg Olivier and Dom Mintoff to contest the 1971 election with the Nationalist Party or Malta Labour Party respectively. Spiteri chose the former, and he was elected to parliament in a 1971 by-election. In 1976, he was elected on his own steam from one district, while in 1981 he sailed through in two districts. But in 1987, he unexpectedly failed to get elected. The Mellieħa architect staged a comeback and got elected in 1992, when he was once again chosen to be parliamentary whip. He finally withdrew from the political scene after the 1996 election in which he was not elected, but remained interested in political debate.

He was also the president of the Soċjetà Mużikali Vittorja in his hometown Mellieħa, and in 1996 he was awarded a medal on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Malta's self-government.

Spiteri died on 9 February 2008 at the age of 75.
