Lavazza Coffee Espresso
Lavazza Company and its Coffee
The Luigi Lavazza S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer of coffee products. Founded in Turin in 1895 by Luigi Lavazza, it was initially run from a small grocery store at Via San Tommaso 10. The business of Lavazza S.p.A. is currently administered by the third and fourth generation of the Lavazza family. Key people within the company included Emilio Lavazza who passed away in February, 2010 and former chairman Alberto Lavazza, Deputy Chairman and CEO Gaetano Mele, Managing Director.
Under the direction of these men Lavazza imports coffee from around the world. These countries include Brazil and Colombia in South America, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Honduras in Central America, Uganda in Africa, Indonesia and Vietnam in Asia and the United States and Mexico in North America. It is imparative that the company maintain sustainable production. Concerns on this topic have led the company to develop the ¡Tierra! Project; its first corporate social responsibility project for sustainable agriculture program in Honduras, Colombia and Peru. This 2004 project sought not only to improve the quality of coffee, but also launched key initiatives in economic and social levels for those in the communities involved with Lavazza. The result was seven unique subsidiaries in these three countries and a wide reaching distribution network.
The company operates a number of retail coffee shops some say are similar to Starbucks, but I disagree. They speak to a different specific group in Italy. The shops offer traditional coffee drinks as well as whole bean and ground coffee for home use.
Branded as “Italy’s Favourite Coffee,” the company claims that 16 out of the 20 million coffee purchasing families in Italy choose Lavazza. Among its offerings today are products such as Cafe Espresso, Top Class, Super Crema, Crema e Gusto, Pienaroma, Gran Filtro Dark Roast and Gran Filtro decaffeinated, Crema e Aroma, Grand Espresso, inBlu and Dek pods and Dek decaffeinated whole bean.
Lavazza has four production facilities located in Italy, with seven production subsidiaries around the world: France, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, Portugal, Austria, and the United States. Lavazza distributes their products in eighty countries.
Lavazza entered the Indian coffee market in April 2007, by buying out the entire stake of the Chennai-based Sterling Infotech group, chaired by C. Sivasankaran, which owns the coffee chain “The Barista Coffee” and the coffee vending business “Fresh and Honest”. Later, Lavazza was the first to introduce vacuum-sealed aluminum foil coffee packaging.
Today, Lavazza employs over 1700 people in Italy alone. Lavazza as a company continues to builld there business around the world adding new places along with there new coffee houses in an Italian manner. In addition, they continue to present an outstanding calerndar as they have over the years by an artist, a photographer and now by a media presentation. The company will continue with its advertisement label: “Transport of coffee in Indochina”.
