Lavazza at Vending Paris 2017

Paris, March 2017 – The consolidated expertise gained over 120 years of continuous coffee experimentation and breaking of new ground in automatic systems are the hallmarks of Lavazza's participation at Vending Paris, from 15th-17th March in Pavilion 5.1 of the Porte de Versailles Exhibition Park.

Lavazza’s presence at Vending Paris confirms its renewed commitment to vending/OCS, a segment that it has overseen and has helped to develop with its innovations since 1989. Today, over 2.5 million Lavazza machines and systems are installed worldwide. More recently, we added the Firma system, a feature at Vending Paris and completely redesigned for its launch on the French market, with four new models that will be appear for a special preview. The new products focus on compactness, quality performance and design, all Made in Italy, for those who want to bring the excellence of Lavazza coffee into offices of any size. The added value of the Turin company’s product range is also provided by the use of the machines for multi-beverage consumption and milk-based beverages and special, self-sealed capsules that preserve all the aroma of coffee.

The Lavazza stand will also take professionals in the sector on a journey of discovery of the areas of taste: Aromatico, Equilibrato and Intenso, through the blends of the Expert range of beans for OCS/vending. It is presented with a new name, references certified by the NGO Rainforest Alliance and an exclusive aesthetic to emphasise the premium approach of Lavazza dedicated to the sector.

Visitors will be guided by experts from the Lavazza Training Centre, a centre that has been devoted to training and product innovation since 1979, and which today is a widespread network with over 50 locations worldwide. It is committed to spreading and preserving the culture of coffee. New and original recipes based on coffee are created here as a result of continuous product research and experimentation, often in collaboration with the most accredited chefs in top international gastronomy.
