GENERAL PACKAGING EQUIPMENT COMPANY

 

For over 70 years our goal at General has been to provide our customers with simple, rugged and reliable vertical form fill seal machines that will operate at the highest possible efficiencies with the least amount of attention. There are General machines that have been in productive use for over 50 years, with no General machine being “obsolete”.  We supply parts, updates and support for all General machines irrespective of age.

Our president, Robert Kelly, has been the sole owner of the company since 1974. From the beginning, we’ve operated as a small business, with a close-knit team of 25–30 knowledgeable employees who are always available to help with any inquiries, questions, or concerns. Many of our team members have been with us for decades—some for over 40 years, which speaks to the kind of workplace we’ve built and the pride our employees take in their work. That experience and dedication are part of what makes us who we are.


BLACK RIFLE COFFEE

 

Black Rifle Coffee Company serves coffee and culture to people who love America.

We develop our explosive roast profiles with the same mission focus we learned as military members serving this great country and are committed to supporting veterans, law enforcement, and first responders. 

Founded in 2014 by former U.S. Army Green Beret Evan Hafer, Black Rifle Coffee Company was built upon the mission to serve coffee and culture to people who love America.

Black Rifle stands for more than high-quality coffee. We are a Veteran-founded business operated by principled men and women who honor those who protect, defend, and support our country

A large part of Black Rifle Coffee Company's success is due to the outstanding work ethic and discipline of our Veteran employees. As we grow, we're committed to hiring 10,000 Veterans to provide opportunities to the military community that helped build us.

As a Veteran-founded and operated company, Black Rifle Coffee also strives to help other service-members successfully transition from the military into entrepreneurship. We provide assistance to Veterans who seek to launch a business of their own, helping more companies like Black Rifle Coffee Company become a reality.


CANCINO FAMILY FARM

 

As the sun breaks over the glorious green slopes of Mauna Loa in Kona, Hawaii, you will find Cancino Family Farm hard at work. The land itself seems to wake up and greet the sun, as the dew mist lifts coffee plants perk up after the dark night. Birds, bees, pigs, and a myriad of insects join us as we work. 

You see, it isn’t just a bit of land that provides the delicious coffee we grow; it is the unique environment of Kona that infuses a richness in every bean. Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano in the world, is known for its rich volcanic soil. Farming is a noble effort, intertwining people’s lives with the land to form a bond unlike any other. Work and reward go hand in hand when it comes to farming. It is one of the vocations that we deeply respect because successful crops depend on courage, planning, learning, dedication and a lot of cooperation from mother nature. 

Many years ago, Cancino Family Farm began by focusing on small, under performing farms helping them reach their full potential. We grew, farm after farm, by replanting, practicing good management, diversifying our farming methods, and protecting the environment. Rather than taxing the land to produce the maximum by chemicals and mechanical equipment, our approach is to help the ecology flourish while still producing higher yields. We have grown to over 350 acres under cultivation and continue to assist other farms to achieve the same success. In this way, we also help grow a community. Our approach reflects family values: when the community prospers, this is a benefit to all families. 

An important aspect of Kona coffee quality is the harvesting and processing of the beans. During the coffee harvest our pickers hand select the ripest and reddest coffee cherries. Each evening we pulp the cherry and lay the parchment on our dying platforms. A few days drying under Hawaii’s tropical sunshine ensures a naturally flavorful cup of coffee. Our state-of-the-art dry mill quickly turns the parchment into quality green beans. We roast them in small batches to ensure the freshest and highest quality cup.


MELITTA

 

The Melitta name has stood for passion and quality for over 100 years. In 1908, Melitta filters and drip coffee were founded by a housewife in Dresden, Germany. Melitta Bentz was in search of a better way to make a cleaner cup of coffee. So she punched holes in a brass pot and used a piece of paper to create a two-part filtration system. She put the pot on a cup, filled it with ground coffee and poured in hot water. The coffee filter and drip coffee were born. More than 100 years later, Melitta Bentz’s innovation remains the precursor to all modern pour-over and drip coffee brewing worldwide. 

Melitta is dedicated to providing the ultimate coffee experience with gourmet coffees, filters and coffeemakers. Melitta Worldwide offers goods and services for coffee pleasure, as well as food storage, food preparation and cleaning in Europe, North and South America and Asia.

Melitta USA was established in 1963 and is headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, where we produce our industry-leading coffee filters. Melitta USA handles the retail sales of Melitta coffee, coffee filters and coffee preparation products in the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean. Since 1964, coffee has been roasted in Cherry Hill, New Jersey at our coffee roastery. 

At Melitta, we are dedicated to offering superior products and we maintain a genuine commitment to exceed customer and industry expectations. We owe our success to our loyal customers and devoted employees, who embody an unyielding passion for the perfect cup of coffee.


COLOMBIAN COFFEE FEDERATION

 

In 1927, the Colombian coffee growers joined together to create an organization that would represent them nationally and internationally, work for their well-being and improve their quality of life. Through an extensive network of cooperatives – key allies – we guarantee producers the permanent purchase of their coffee at the best base market price, calculated transparently, paid in cash, in places close to their farms and throughout the entire year.

Our goal is to position Colombian coffee in the national and international markets as a great consumption experience because it is a product highly sought after by customers and final consumers. This is due to its high quality standards and the wonderful stories behind Colombian coffee-growing families. Colombian coffee growers, through the FNC, have the National Coffee Research Center (Cenicafé), which generates competitive and sustainable knowledge and technologies focused on increasing productivity, competitiveness and profitability of the country’s coffee farming, which are then transferred to all coffee growers through the Extension Service.

Through educational processes and through the Extension Service we make transfer of technology to coffee growers easier, contributing to profitability of coffee farming and the well-being of producers, their families and communities, promoting participation in technical, economic, environmental and social programs. Thanks to the efficiency and transparency with which the FNC executes projects for coffee growers in the economic, social, environmental and governance dimensions, we have become a key partner of public and private, national and international entities in implementing projects that impact the well-being and development of large rural areas of the country.
