Top Placement for Löfbergs at the European Coffee Awards

On Tuesday evening, the European Coffee Awards took place in Berlin, where Löfbergs secured double top placements. The family-owned coffee roastery from Sweden reached the top three in two categories: Europe's Best Coffee Roastery and Europe's Most Sustainable Brand.

“Even though we didn’t make it all the way, this is a victory for Löfbergs. To be ranked among the top alongside global giants like Lavazza and Illy is an enormous achievement, and shows that Löfbergs is a top-class European player,” says Anders Fredriksson, CEO of Löfbergs.

The Best Commercial Coffee Roaster category recognises roasteries that excel in quality, consistency, and global reach. Out of ten candidates, Löfbergs, Lavazza, and Illy were named finalists, with the Italian Lavazza emerging as the winner.

In the Most Sustainable Brand category, the focus was on brands leading the way in sustainability and ethical practices. Löfbergs was a finalist along with Origin and O-Zone Coffee, with the latter taking the top prize.

From Local to International
Founded in 1906 in Karlstad, Sweden, Löfbergs is now one of the largest family-owned coffee roasteries in the Nordic region. Production equates to 12 million cups of coffee per day, with every second cup sold outside Sweden.
