About our client
Founded in 1949 by Max Herz, Tchibo has been synonymous with freshness and quality in the coffee market for over 60 years. Originally a coffee mail-order firm, it has evolved into an international company and operates in many more business sectors than the traditional selling of coffee. Over the years, Tchibo has systematically expanded its range and distribution paths, ensuring diversity and quality the world over with strong brands.

Some 40 years after the company was founded, in the early 1990s Tchibo made the leap from a national to a successful internationally operating company. Within a few years Tchibo grew - through determined expansion in Central and Eastern European - into one of Europe's leading coffee providers. Tchibo has subsidiaries in Austria, Switzerland, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Russia, Romania and Turkey, and exports coffee to over 40 countries around the world.
