Why Melitta Group wants to build Europe’s largest coffee roastery

The German coffee group has announced a major investment following record 2025 revenues

In March 2026, Germany’s Melitta Group announced plans to significantly scale its European coffee business with targeted investment in both B2B and D2C channels.

The Minden-based coffee group closed 2025 with 18% year-on-year sales growth to reach a record €2.5bn ($2.9bn), with revenues in Europe reported as ‘significantly higher’ year-on-year.

With European markets pinpointed as key to doubling group sales by 2033, Melitta is investing €100m ($116.3m) over the next five years to increase production at its Bremen roasting facility by 50%.

The facility, where the company’s European headquarters is also located, will be Europe’s largest coffee roastery when complete, Melitta said in a press release.
