Our positioning
In Italy, Caffè Corsini is highly regarded by all retailers as a strong coffee partner, partly due to its single-origin heritage, and partly due to its comprehensive product range that caters to all needs. Outside Italy, Caffè Corsini is mainly positioned as a supplier of top-quality coffees.
Our strategy
The company’s strategy is to spread the heritage of Caffè Corsini throughout the Melitta Group. All of the Group’s operating divisions are to be given the opportunity to offer genuine Italian coffee to customers around the world and via all Melitta distribution channels. At the same time, steps are already being taken to raise brand awareness in the hospitality and food retail channels in key markets of Europe and the Americas, as well as in Italy. In order to achieve the ambitious new sales targets, work has begun on developing a new brand positioning and brand values.
Market and business trends in 2022
Due to the huge increase in green bean prices and energy costs, the fiscal year 2022 was extremely challenging for Caffè Corsini. Nevertheless, the company managed to partially offset the pandemic-related volume decline in the food service channel. In its B2C business, the focus was placed on more profitable activities.
Outlook 2023
The most important activities in fiscal 2023 include the sales launch of products manufactured by Caffè Corsini via Melitta Sales Europe and Melitta Professional Coffee Solutions. The cooperation with Melitta Sales Europe will initially focus on the products of the Compagnia dell’Arabica brand. By contrast, the cooperation with Melitta Professional Coffee Solutions will focus on the products of the Caffè Corsini brand.
