TipTop was founded by the late Mr. Joseph Xuereb who passed away in November 2006. Born in Valletta in 1931, Mr. Joseph Xuereb emigrated to Canada in 1950 where he gained vast experience in the business sector. Upon his return to Malta in 1956, Mr. Xuereb opened a small shop in Valletta selling souvenirs and TipTop was founded that year.

As the years passed, Tip Top became Malta’s leading company in Hifi and Electronics sales, being the sole agents and representatives for Toshiba, Sanyo, Jamo, Sansui and other brands.
In 1979 and 1983, his two sons David and Joseph joined the company respectively. From there, on followed an expansion into various business sectors namely in the sales of sports and fitness equipment.
In 2000 Joseph "Pejxa" Vella, who had worked at Tip Top since 1986, started managing the electronics side of business - thus forming Tip Top Electronics.

Toshiba
Toshiba, a world leader in high technology, is a diversified manufacturer and marketer of advanced electronic and electrical products, spanning information & communications equipment and systems, Internet-based solutions and services, electronic components and materials, power systems, industrial and social infrastructure systems, and household appliances.
Toshiba's early history has two strands: 1875 saw the establishment of Tanaka Seizo-sho (Tanaka Engineering Works), Japan's first manufacturer of telegraphic equipment. Its founder, Hisashige Tanaka (1799 - 1881), was well known from his youth for inventions that included mechanical dolls and a perpetual clock. Under the name Shibaura Seisaku-sho (Shibaura Engineering Works), his company became one of Japan's largest manufacturers of heavy electrical apparatus. In 1890, Hakunetsu-sha & Co., Ltd. was established as Japan's first plant for electric incandescent lamps. Subsequent diversification saw the company evolve as a manufacturer of consumer products. In 1899, the company was renamed Tokyo Denki (Tokyo Electric Co.).
In 1939, these two companies, leaders in their respective fields, merged to form an integrated electric equipment manufacturer, Tokyo Shibaura Denki (Tokyo Shibaura Electric Co., Ltd.). The company was soon well known as 'Toshiba,' which became its official name in 1978.
By continually developing innovative technologies centering on the fields of Electronics and Energy, Toshiba strives to create products and services that enhance human life, and which lead to a thriving, healthy society. They constantly seek new approaches that help realize the goals of the world community, including ways to improve the global environment.
