Our roasting company Caffe Roen was established in 1979 in Pacengo di Lazise, near Verona, on the shores of Lake Garda. Thanks to his experience in the coffee industry, Sergio Bendinelli decided to found his own roasting company, to produce espresso coffee according to his own taste. At first he used a small roaster that allowed him to develop the first blends and to start a small coffee production, intended primarily for Ho.Re.Ca industry
The first years were a crescendo of successes, customers increased steadily and the reputation of quality and reliability of the company was strengthened more and more. Later on came the transfering to new premises in Affi, a small town not far away, specially built to accommodate the new production facilities and in following the tasting and the training rooms.
The transfer to Affi also coincided with major changes in the company, the holder was joined by new employees and began opening to foreign markets, this was a choice that proved to be far-sighted and that was finally consolidated with the entry of the son Enrico within the company, which thanks to the degree in languages, began to engage in the export sector, bringing a wave of innovation and dynamism.
