Löfbergs increases in Finland

The coffee roaster Löfbergs continues to grow in Finland. During July to October, the sales increased with 24 % compared to the same period last year. Above all, it is the dark-roast segment that grows.

- Our dark roasts Crescendo and Kharisma have quickly become the Finnish people's favourites. They stand for about 50 % of our sales in Finland, says Kent Pettersson, sales director at Löfbergs.

Dark and bright future
The Finnish people drink most coffee per person in the entire world. Over the past year, Löfbergs has made great investments to win market shares in Finland. For one thing, the company has brought out its dark coffee that is full of flavour.

- It has turned out to be a wise strategy. We believe that the share of dark roast coffee will continue to grow in Finland, and we take a bright view of the future, says Kent Pettersson.

More coffee and a better result, a slightly lower turnover and continuous expansion in Europe. That is how last year was for the Löfbergs group according to the annual report for June 2012 to June 2013.

They drink more coffee than anyone else in the world, and they are traditionally a bit fairer than other Europeans. But now the dark roast coffee gains ground in Finland. In a recent study, Kharisma and Crescendo from Löfbergs get high marks from Finnish consumers.
