When Löfbergs was founded in Karlstad in 1906, it was not just about roasting coffee, but about building for the future. Being family owned means carrying a responsibility that extends beyond the next quarter, and as a family business, we do not take shortcuts, says Kathrine Löfberg, Chair of the Board and coffee roaster in the fourth generation.
2025 was another challenging year for the coffee industry. High coffee prices, extreme weather and uncertain harvests put pressure on the entire value chain. Despite this, Löfbergs’ latest sustainability report highlights several concrete advances – from development projects in coffee-producing countries and regenerative coffee to fossil-free sea freight, more circular packaging and reduced waste.
After five years as CEO of Löfbergs, Anders Fredriksson is taking the next step in his career. In September, he will become the CEO of Humble Group. Until then, Anders will continue to lead Löfbergs, which is now starting the process of recruiting his successor.
Eight in ten Swedes drink coffee regularly. Filter coffee continues to dominate, and a majority of consumers still perceive coffee as good value for money. These are the key findings from the third edition of the Löfbergs Coffee Report - the most comprehensive survey of coffee consumption habits in Sweden.
All Löfbergs whole beans are now packed in mono-material – a packaging made from a single type of plastic and fully recyclable. This transition marks an important step towards more sustainable material use and a circular economy. "This is an important part of our work to create a more sustainable supply chain,” says Madelene Breiling, Head of Development & Compliance at Löfbergs.
Löfbergs has been named Supplier of the Year by the hotel group Strawberry. The award recognises the family-owned roastery’s long-term work on climate, social impact, and responsible supply chains.
Building on more than a century of work to advance sustainability - and after two years of co-developing a regenerative agroforestry sourcing model together with GrowGrounds - Löfbergs is now entering the next phase: scaling real-world restoration across key coffee landscapes. The goal is clear: restore nature, improve farmer resilience, and secure high-quality coffee for future generations.
Swedish-based coffee company Löfbergs has been named one of the top three Commercial Coffee Roasters at The European Coffee & Hospitality Awards in Berlin, alongside Lavazza and Illy. The award honours companies that drive the industry forward through quality, innovation, and responsibility.
Swedish-based coffee roaster Löfbergs has taken another pioneering step in sustainable coffee sourcing. Earlier this year, the family-owned company became one of the first in Europe to buy Regenerative Organic Certified coffee — a new and ambitious certification that goes beyond traditional organic standards.
Swedish-based coffee roaster Löfbergs has been shortlisted in two categories at the upcoming European Coffee & Hospitality Awards 2025: Best European Commercial Coffee Roaster and Most Sustainable Brand. The dual nominations underline the company’s strong position in the European coffee industry.
Henrik Biilmann, 55, has been appointed new Managing Director of Danish coffee roastery Peter Larsen Kaffe, part of the Löfbergs Group. He will assume the role on 1 July 2025, succeeding Claus Bertelsen. Henrik’s mission is to further develop the company as a strong and sustainable coffee brand in Denmark.
Getting more people to choose sustainable consumption takes more than just sustainable products. Through inspiration, knowledge, and practical tips, Löfbergs wants to make it easier to brew, taste, and enjoy coffee in a more conscious way.
