No, the “coffee scraper” will not leave Karlstad for Sergels torg. But there will be a new coffee roaster in Stockholm. Just in time for the Christmas trade, Löfbergs is opening its first flagship store with a micro roaster on Kungsgatan, within a stone's throw from Stureplan.
Jääkiekko ja kahvi ovat kaksi suomalaisten rakastamaa asiaa, ja tämän on pannut merkille myös Löfbergs. Ruotsalainen kahvipaahtimo on nimittäin jo Helsingin Hartwall Areenan ja Lahden Isku Areenan virallinen kahvikumppani. Nyt aloitetaan yhteistyö myös TPS:n ja Turun HK Areenan kanssa.
Hockey and coffee. Two things that are very popular in Finland. This is an opportunity that Löfbergs is grasping with both hands. The Swedish coffee roaster is already the official coffee partner of Hartwall Areena in Helsinki and Isku Areena in Lahti. The company is now entering into cooperation with the hockey team TPS and the HK Areena in Turku.
At the beginning of the year, it rains a lot in Brazil. Usually. This year, the country is experiencing its severest drought in a very long time. It has left its marks, especially among Brazilian coffee farmers. But despite the drought and water rationing, our purchaser Martin meets hopeful coffee farmers on his journey in the Brazilian state Minas Gerais.
Suomi on tärkeä markkina-alue Löfbergsille. Ruotsalainen kahvinpaahtimo on lisännyt viimeisen vuoden aikana myyntiään kahvinjanoisessa Suomessa voimakkaasti. Yhteistyö Lahden Pelicansin ja Isku Areenan kanssa vahvistaa tuotemerkin asemaa entisestään.
Finland is an important market for Löfbergs. In the past year, the Swedish coffee roaster has increased its sales strongly in the country where the biggest coffee drinkers live. Cooperation with the ice hockey team Lahti Pelicans and Isku Areena will further strengthen the brand.
The Swedish coffee roaster Löfbergs is working flat out. The company is temporarily hiring 100,000 new co-workers. But this time it is not about increasing the coffee production, but a different kind of business.
The Löfberg family is strengthening its commitment to the world's coffee farmers. A new foundation will contribute to a more sustainable development in the production countries. The funds of the foundation will be used for development projects, research and education.
Löfbergs's effort of taking responsibility for people and environment is increasingly being noticed. The family-owned coffee roaster has been invited to a unique network for companies that cooperate for sustainable development. Sida, a government agency working on behalf of the Swedish parliament and government, with the mission to reduce poverty in the world, coordinates the network.
In one year, Sodexo in Sweden has significantly increased its share of Fairtrade coffee, from 2 to 53 per cent. This has resulted in slightly more than SEK 1.5 million for coffee farmers and cooperatives. The reason behind this rise is an increased focus on sustainable business - and a change of coffee supplier.
