STOCKHOLM – A coffee roaster in downtown Stockholm? Yes, that can become a reality if Löfbergs has it its way. The family-owned coffee roaster is looking for premises, where it can roast as well as serve coffee. – We have heard that a big international coffee chain is establishing in Stockholm, but we believe that there is room for a familiar Värmlander as well, says Leif Sjöblom, marketing manager at Löfbergs.
A new “coffee scraper”?
Löfbergs was founded in 1906 and is one of the largest family-owned coffee roasters in the Nordic countries.
The production is equivalent to ten million cups of coffee a day. The head office is situated in Karlstad, where the 45 metres tall “coffee scraper” is a landmark.
The roasting-house in downtown Stockholm is not intended to be that big.
– No, this is supposed to be a micro roaster and a really great café with a touch of Värmland. A place for everyone in Stockholm who wants to make, taste and learn more about coffee – or that just want to relax for awhile, says Leif Sjöblom.
– We are looking for premises that are between 100 and 200 square metres big, in downtown Stockholm. We expect to be up and running sometime next year.
Löfbergs is one of the largest family-owned coffee roasters in the Nordic countries.
The company has 300 employees and a turnover of SEK 1.5 billion. The head office is situated in Karlstad, Sweden and the company has its own roasting-houses in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Latvia.
The company was founded in 1906 and is today one of the world’s largest importers of ecological and Fairtrade labelled coffee. Löfbergs also owns the tea brand Kobbs.
