Project café+co Explorer - Adapting to shifting times

Be part of it too: Help to shape our future!

The first six initiatives from the café+co Explorer project will be implemented in the next financial year. An exciting phase within the café+co Group will thus start and we would like to invite you all to actively participate in our new initiatives. Your input and your commitment are essential for the success of our common goals.

Starting signal for the first 6 café+co Explorer initiatives

After four intensive months of planning and discussion, we selected six strategic initiatives in mid-June during our management workshop in Regensburg; the implementation of these initiatives will commence in the next financial year 2024/25. These initiatives aim to develop our core competences further, to strengthen our market position and to open up new fields of business.

Dive into project Explorer - What’s new about project Explorer

Strategy development on a broad basis.We are getting ready to better cope with uncertainties and unprecedented developments and the knowledge to do so is within each and every one in our company. We choose a participative process of strategy development instead of a top-down process of strategy implementation. All countries and all companies of the whole café+co group take part.

Here is how we will do it

We use an approved scientific approach called the Scenario Method. Along six different trend fields we picture how life will be in 2035 and what this means for our business model. Only then we develop strategies and action plans on how to act best in these surroundings. This will make us well-prepared and give us the freedom to act successfully.

At café+co we believe in the unlimited potential of our employees for the innovative project Explorer

Designing our future

Especially in ever changing times we need to be well prepared. Change is given but opportunity favors the prepared mind. The better we adjust to what we think might happen, the better we will stay successful and the better we can stay ahead of competition and crisis. We need to get more flexible in our thinking and open up beyond our daily business. So let’s step out of daily challenges and take a closer look to what lays ahead of us.

Our future stands on a solid basis

We have been selling coffee for over 50 years, and if we take a quick look at our current figures, we can be proud: Quality- and service Leader in 9 countries throughout Europe and 500 million cups of coffee sold annually and a total of 60.000 vending maschines we serve daily. How do we do that? In knowing our markets, being close to our customers, and being open to trends and innovations. That's how we developed our great legacy and our strong brand!

The cafè+co Explorer Team

In January 2023 the team of 14 Explorers from five countries started its exciting journey. Over the course of one year, they will travel and together with all members within the café+co family they will lay out the path into a successful future. Here they are: The café+co Explorers!
