History

In the mid-fifties, after the dark years of the war and in full revival, the custom to roast coffee at home and to use coffee surrogates was abandoned. Recently founded small roasting companies joined the few traditional roasting and commercial companies remained. Alongside Italians felt like drinking a good cup of coffee, which triggered the first steps of the Italian espresso.
The consumption at the bar recorded significant increases. Even the new technological coffee machines contributed to the transformation of handicraft companies into roasters with industrial characteristics. All this created fierce competition among roasters.
It was in those years of great upheaval that cavaliere Raffaele Lionello, important and active roaster of Padova, invited several times for meetings in the headquarters of the Industrial Association of Padua, the representatives of a group of companies in the area, with the aim of bringing all in a unique partnership.

Thus was born the Triveneto Coffee Roasters Group in 1954

The first seat of the Group was Venice and in 1978 it was transferred to Trieste.
The meeting of February 23rd, 2015 decided, after more than 60 years, the change of the name into Italian Coffee Roasters Group  with changes in the Statutes, allowing thus roasters all over Italy to become ordinary members with the possibility to vote at meetings and to become members of the board of directors.
