Verwerkaf Kaffee Veredelungs Werk S.p.A. was set up in 1961 operating from the very beginning in the sector of decaffeinization on behalf of third parties. It evolved and expanded immediately and this activity was sided by many others, both in the sector of roasted coffee processing (decaffeinated and normal), ground and in beans, packed in various sizes, in the production of decaffeinated tea, in the commercialisation of low calorie sweeteners and in the production of tablets for roasted barley based drinks.

Therefore Verwerkaf sides its historical and consolidated activity in the sector of decaffeinated coffee production with an activity as co-packer in great expansion and on a large range of coffee based pre-packed products.

Within the sector of coffee packs in various sizes (see our product range), Verwerkaf shows a great flexibility and dynamism in meeting customer requirements by offering them products in which blending, roasting, grinding and all packing parameters have been developed to obtain what is requested by the customer.
