Wembley Ice-Cream Factory

The Wembley ice-cream factory, located in Gżira, Malta, is a notable example of pre-war industrial architecture, completed in 1937 by architect Antonio Grech Dimech for industrialist Luke V. Gauci. Known for introducing pasteurized and pre-packed ice-cream to Malta under the brand Wembleys, the factory features a symmetrical façade with Art Deco elements that enhance its verticality. It is situated near the iconic Muscats Motors building and is currently on the Planning Authority's list for potential redevelopment, with plans to transform it into a seven-storey office block while preserving elements of its historical façade. This site represents a blend of Malta's industrial heritage and modern urban development, making it of interest to both tourists and researchers.
