An exciting and forward-looking project is underway in Uganda. In the first quarter, the construction of a new mill was started. The Uganda mill represents a significant step forward in Ibero Uganda’s operations. It will replace the more than 20-year-old facility in the old industrial area of Kampala, which has space and capacity constraints and aging equipment. The new mill will be equipped with the latest technology, which will increase efficiency, resulting in lower operating costs and restoring the competitive edge. Health and environmental concerns will be addressed through the use of energy-efficient technology, a high degree of automation, and a focus on the future workplace.

At the beginning of September, representatives from several Group companies, the Board of Management and the Coaching team met for a three-day meeting near Hamburg. In intensive rounds, various topics were discussed, such as the development of our business and the coffee market as a whole. Another key topic was the cooperation between the holding company and the operating companies.

After months of intense preparation, especially by the project team and many HR colleagues around the world, our new global Human Resources System (HRS) Workday is live! From now on, all group companies will use this HRS as our global solution. If you have not signed up yet, it’s about time! We will tell you why!
