History
Joseph Rizzo Marich was born in Valletta in July, 1867. Joseph was involved in the running of the business V. Marich and Co. along with his brother, Alfred Rizzo Marich (1860-1897). Both brothers took over the business from their father, Lawrence Rizzo Marich (1828-1887), however, his brother died at the young age of 36, leaving the business in his hands until his brother's children were old enough to run the business.
During Joseph's running of the business, V. Marich and Co. entered into an agreement with A. G. Cousis and Co. to manufacture Marich cigarettes. Adverts in foreign newspapers indicate that the selling of and exporting of cigarettes started around 1905 onwards.
