London coffee festival (april 2022)
Our colleagues from IAC London enjoyed meeting other coffee lovers again in person. Featuring over 250 artisan coffee and gourmet food stalls, tastings and demonstrations from world-class baristas, interactive workshops, street food, coffee-based cocktails, live music, DJs, art exhibitions. London Coffee Festival is always worth visiting!
Specialty Coffee Expo 2022 featured over 420 exhibiting companies and welcomed over 10,000 attendees for their largest trade show in over two years. Three days of exhibitions, competitions, and learning and our colleagues from North America as well as many NKG guests from all over the world have enjoyed being a part of it!
23rd Santos International Coffee Seminar, Brazil
(May 2022)
After years of recess due to the pandemic, a record number of participants from all over Brazil and the rest of the world flocked to Guaruja for the bi-annual event organized by CECAFE. Due to the sheer fact that it takes place in Brazil, it is one of the most important events in the coffee calendar. Our Own David M. Neumann participated in a “CEO panel” with his colleagues from EDF MAN and ECOM, in which a number of topics around the future of Brazil as a coffee producer were discussed, ranging from sustainability to yields, climate change consequences and marketing of possibly further growing volumes. In a nutshell, everyone agreed that Brazil still has much potential for growth in coffee if the producers find it attractive and viable.
Originally, World of Coffee 2022 was planned to be held in Warsaw after the last WoC in Berlin three years ago. Due to the Ukraine war, the event location had to be changed beginning of this year. Fortunately, organizers as well as our colleagues were spontaneous enough to reorganize everything and set up three wonderful days in Milan. Together with Bero Italia, IAC created a wonderful cupping schedule together with interesting guests, e.g. producers from Nicaragua or Tanzania as well as many NKG colleagues from India, Mexico, Kenya, Ethiopia and many more. Furthermore, IAC was sponsor of the Roasting and Cup Tasters Championship in Milan.
Coming up in 2022
30 years at Neumann Kaffee Gruppe! On July 1, our Group CEO David M. Neumann celebrated this remarkable anniversary. As a little surprise for this special day, our colleagues around the world recorded video clips that we edited into a very touching personal video message for him. Enjoy watching it and Congratulations again, Mr. Neumann!
This time we invite you to challenge your concentration in our “NKG Brand Values / Guiding Principles Memory Game”. In case you do not know it from your childhood… it is very simple: turn over the cards one by one and find the statements that match with each other. The game ends when you have found all the pairs. Among all participants we give away a prize which the winner can spend a lot more time with. A self-designed NKG puzzle with the most beautiful pictures from the diverse NKG world.
Together with the NKG Board of Management, David M. Neumann announced an ambitious business goal named “20/200” for the upcoming years: when worldwide consumption reaches 200 million bags per year, NKG is supposed to have 10 % of that volume – that means 20 million bags of sales. To achieve these numbers, we as NKG have to strongly commit to our goal and align everything we do with it. Every company, every department, and every employee is part of it at any moment.
