Coffee Holding Co., Inc
Coffee Holding Co., Inc. is a U.S.-based coffee company focused on roasting, blending, packaging, and distributing private label and branded coffee products, along with wholesale specialty green coffee. The company also grows through selective acquisitions of coffee businesses, brands, and related assets, which it uses to expand customer reach and production capacity. Its business is centered on a single commodity, coffee, so supply availability, bean quality, and pricing are central to operations. Recent acquisitions such as Empire Coffee and prior purchases of roasters and brands show that the company uses consolidation to broaden its customer base and product mix.
