Who we are

A plant in the heart of Veracruz coffee country.

Our facilities are strategically located in the high mountains of Ixtaczoquitlán, Veracruz—in the heart of one of Mexico's most important coffee-growing regions, with direct access to quality raw material and the logistics infrastructure that an industrial operation of this scale demands.

From here we supply more than 100 cities in Mexico and export to customers on four continents, backed by international offices in Miami, U.S.A. and Rotterdam, Netherlands.

A capacity rarely seen

At our facilities we develop roasted and ground coffee, instant coffee (spray-dried and agglomerated), raw caffeine and other industrial derivatives, with seven specialized warehouses for green and processed coffee.

We also manufacture for third parties: we develop blends according to each client’s specifications and regulations, with presentation options ranging from bulk product to retail-ready formats.

Behind many of the brands on the market there is a specialized operation that is rarely visible to the consumer — that operation is us.

From industrial know-how to the market

That same industrial experience is the foundation of our portfolio of own brands and of CAFIVER Coffee Service, through which we supply coffee and equipment on loan to hotels, restaurants, cafés and offices.

The same technical standard, applied to every business path.

Constant innovation

After more than forty years, we keep innovating in coffee transformation: today we are developing new processing alternatives, including a decaffeination method using natural bioagents.

From green bean to finished product — and from a blend developed for a brand to a cup served in a hotel, restaurant or home — we bring together knowledge, technology, production capacity and experience.
