MILAN – Seattle-based Novus Coffee Imports, a division of The Mercon Group, is changing its name to Mercon Specialty. The change name reflects a better representation of the company’s identity as part of one of the world’s top coffee suppliers and reinforces Mercon’s commitment to independent coffee roasters nationwide. Mercon Specialty is an ideal supplier for roasters seeking broader access to Specialty and Premium coffees, more robust supply chains, logistics and global sustainability programs that benefit both producers and the communities they live in.
“As our business has grown in the last two years, we felt it was important to let our customers know of the many unique benefits associated with being part of the Mercon Group,” explains Craig Russell, Managing Director. Russell believes this change will allow the company to grow in new and dynamic ways.
“We’re much more than just a specialty green coffee importer. Our team has over 65 years of specialty coffee experience so we can offer our customers much more, including operations in origin countries, consulting, world-class customer service, plus blending and roasting services. Mercon gives us a global reach while still maintaining the local presence in Origin countries that is so critical to success in the coffee business.”
