From a small family-run business in Turin in 1895 to become one of the world’s most important roasters, at Lavazza we are dedicated to celebrating the Italian way of coffee with every cup. That means putting premium quality at the forefront and experimenting with imaginative new ways to experience coffee, just like our founder Luigi Lavazza did when he invented the art of blending and revolutionized the world of coffee. Every day we push ourselves to think outside the box, because we believe in creating experiences that extend far beyond the pleasure of an exceptional Italian espresso.
Our business is rooted in our values and our entrepreneurial vision, which combines tradition, innovation and respect: for our people, for our collaborators and consumers around the world and for the environment. We operate in over 140 countries in Home, Away-from-Home and Office sectors (Foodservice, Vending and Coffee Shop Business), continuing to offer the world the same superior quality and excellence that has distinguished us ever since the beginning.
