Being able to handle low-volume, high-mix production is its competitive turf

Its core business is contract manufacturing meant to be sold under the customer's own brand, tailoring bean blends, roasting, and extraction conditions to each client's specifications. Because private labels for retail chains differ in taste and price from one company to the next, the same line has to run different specifications.

Mass-producing generic instant coffee is a business where price is the only differentiator. Being able to handle low-volume, high-mix production creates a different competitive turf, outside that race.

By operating a factory in Vietnam, the company secures its supply of robusta, while a Swiss base keeps it close to European customers. Robusta is the main raw material for instant coffee, and Vietnam is the world's largest robusta-producing region.

How it expands from contract manufacturing into its own brands

Consolidated revenue for FY2026 (the year ended March 2026) was ₹4,457 crore, well above the ₹3,106 crore of FY2025. Within India it is also expanding its own coffee brands.

When a contract manufacturer builds its own brand, it risks competing with its own clients. The company draws the line by keeping its own brands to the Indian domestic market and focusing overseas sales on contract manufacturing.

Points for Japanese companies

For Japanese beverage and food manufacturers sourcing instant coffee or coffee ingredients on an OEM basis, this is a direct candidate. The company states that it already ships to 110 countries, so it has experience meeting export specifications.

When approaching the company, what's needed is a target flavor specification. If extraction conditions, granulation (spray-dried or freeze-dried), bean blend ratios, and target price range can be given as numbers, prototyping moves quickly. Which raw materials are used also depends on whether the Vietnam or India plant is used, so that needs to be part of the conversation too.
