Success since 1862 – we celebrate our 150 years jubilee!
The Meinl story began in 1862 when Julius Meinl I. opened his first grocery store, selling spices and green coffee, in the center of Vienna. He created coffee blends and was the first to offer freshly roasted coffee to his customers. Julius Meinl had found a new market, as his innovation saved customers the challenge of roasting green coffee beans on their kitchen stoves. Selling roasted coffee ensured a constant, reliable quality coffee blend. Since that time the Julius Meinl name is synonymous with know-how, tradition, and products of finest quality. Members of the 5th generation of the Meinl family are active in the company today.
Not just the logo has changed over the years, but the entire organization. Today, our company offers quality products in more than 70 countries and has more than 30.000 gastronomy and business customers. Each year, more than 1 billion cups of Julius Meinl coffee are served globally in gastronomy alone. Thus, the company enjoys the market leading position in the Austrian gastronomy segment. In the upcoming years, Julius Meinl is planning to further strengthen its market presence on the international level to ensure another 150 years of success.
