Good coffee needs competence

The strict purity law, known from German beer, also applies to soluble coffee. Our products contain roasted coffee and water. Nothing else. Sounds simple, but it takes complex manufacturing steps to turn natural beans into our aromatic instant coffee. 

As part of the Strauss Group, we benefit from cooperation with specialists from all over the world and exclusive process technology. Our clients benefit from high-quality products at favourable prices.

High-tech production

Only a few European coffee producers make their own freeze-dried instant coffee. The highly automated technology is not profitable for smaller or medium-sized brands. We supply these companies with more than 4,500 tonnes of coffee annually.

Concentrated know-how

Modern process engineering is made up of technology - and the process. And that is based on specialised knowledge and years of experience. We bring this expertise to bear from the selection of the beans to the final processing step.  

Continuous further development

Coffee cultivation is constantly evolving, as are processing methods and technologies. The NDKW experts are involved in this development. Supported by the international teams of the Strauss Group and the Coffee Technology Center in Israel.

Efficient processes

A perfect aroma is what counts. But people only enjoy that if the price is right. We achieve the necessary efficiency through the Strauss Group's central raw material purchasing and our economical manufacturing processes.

Excellent green coffees - from the best growing regions in the world

The quality of a product starts with the raw materials. Always. For coffee cultivation, this means a balanced combination of rainfall and sunlight as well as moderate temperatures and nutrient-rich soil. This is why coffee cherries develop particularly well on slopes. Arabica plants at altitudes above 600 metres, Robusta at altitudes between 0 and 600 metres. The ideal growing areas are in Brazil, Colombia, Africa and Asian countries such as India and Vietnam. 

Cooperation with selected green coffee suppliers is coordinated by the Strauss Group's global procurement centre in Switzerland.

Individual packaging - matching the product and brand

Glass or paper, coloured or natural, branded or neutral? We don't just develop how your coffee tastes. We develop how your coffee is presented. The individual article, the packaging unit or the complete display for the trade. We print your products according to your corporate design - or create a branding together with you. 

For new design or packaging variants, we cooperate with a reliable network of external experts. 
 

Worldwide logistics - flexible, affordable and sustainable

Northern Germany is an ideal production and logistics location. You benefit from its proximity to Hamburg, the world's largest transshipment centre for green coffee and Europe's third largest container port. It is considered a hub of international waterways. The Scandinavian and some Eastern European countries are supplied via the seaports of Lübeck and Rostock. 

In addition, Hamburg is Europe's largest railway hub. The international airports of Hamburg and Berlin connect the continents by air, and the European motorway network enables efficient transport by land.

From the bean to the cup

The production process from green coffee beans to excellent instant coffee involves many steps. Each one is as substantial as the other. Each one makes our products unique. The certified quality of NDKW products underlines the interaction of leading know-how and current technologies.
