From small roastery in 1961 to Italian coffee leader
History, innovation and sustainability of an industrial reality rooted in Emilia-Romagna
Coind, an acronym for Coop Industria, was founded in 1961 in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, in Castel Maggiore, in the province of Bologna. This was the start of a journey that, starting from a small coffee roasting plant founded on the initiative of Coop Consumatori, would over time lead to the birth of one of the most important companies in the sector. The initial goal was simple but ambitious: to supply small cooperative outlets with a superior quality product.
Coind at its origins: innovation and growth in large-scale retail trade
Since its beginnings, Coind has been distinguished by its innovative vision and ability to interpret the new logic of large-scale retailing distribution, then still in its infancy. In a rapidly growing economic environment marked by the expansion of the food industry and the emergence of the mass market, the company demonstrated an extraordinary ability to adapt and develop.
Over the years, in a postwar Italy rediscovering confidence and a desire to build, Coind diversified its activities, expanded its customer portfolio and strengthened its procurement and production processes, always keeping at the center values of solidarity, respect for labor and attention to the environment.
