Building a Supplier Network and Operational Infrastructure
We began by actively visiting coffee farms and expanding our expertise in coffee quality and bean selection. Alongside operating our original construction company, we prepared customer orders even under challenging weather conditions. At that time, our entire inventory was stored in a 230 m² warehouse.
International Expansion and Product Diversification
In 2022, we expanded our operations by establishing an export company in Brazil, with an office in São Paulo managed by a member of our family. At the same time, we reached an important personal milestone in Slovakia with the birth of our first child. We also broadened our product portfolio by adding 10 new coffee origins sourced through our partner roasteries across Europe.
Investment in Technology and Expansion of Partnerships
In 2023, we invested in a dual-drum electric sample roaster, enabling us to further enhance quality control and in-house coffee sample evaluation. We continued visiting coffee farms and warehouses across Brazil, strengthening our relationships with producers. During the year, our supplier network expanded from 3 to 8 trusted partners across Brazil.
Strengthening the Brand and Expanding Operations
In 2024, we participated in World of Coffee Dubai, further strengthening the international visibility of the KAVAZ BRAZIL brand. We also officially registered the KAVAZ BRAZIL trademark through Brazil’s National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI). Operationally, we expanded our infrastructure by acquiring our first forklift and beginning construction of a new warehouse. Another key milestone was joining the Slovak business delegation to São Paulo. On a personal level, we were delighted to welcome our second child into the family.
A Year of Building Capacity and Enhancing Quality
In 2025, we welcomed our first two team members, marking an important milestone in the growth of both our company and our family. We also participated in World of Coffee Geneva, continuing to strengthen our international presence. During the year, both of our companies achieved Rainforest Alliance certification, reaffirming our commitment to sustainability and transparency throughout the coffee supply chain.
Key Investments and European Brand Registration
In 2026, we opened a new warehouse in Slovakia with a storage capacity of 440,000 kg of green coffee, significantly strengthening our logistics and distribution capabilities. The KAVAZ BRAZIL trademark was successfully registered across the European Union through the EUIPO, reinforcing its legal protection within the European market. We also initiated the process of obtaining FSSC certification, marking another important step in our commitment to food safety, quality, and operational excellence.
