The Volcafe Group

Founded in the 1850's by the Volkart brothers, the now global Volcafe Group has always specialised in gourmet coffee and has prided itself on excellent relationships with its roaster clients, working with them to ensure quality control to their specifications. Today Volcafe has continued in the same tradition of a service-oriented, worldwide coffee corporation with emphasis on delivering high-quality, washed, mild coffees to the roasting manufacturers around the world.

As part of Volcafe's commitment to the increasing focus on sustainable coffee producing methods, which improve the quality of life for growers and workers, VOLCAFE has worked hard, particularly in Colombia, by providing almost 1,500 housing solutions since 1995.
