Neumann Kaffee Gruppe (NKG) is a privately owned, family-run green coffee service group, now in its third generation of family leadership under Managing Partner David M. Neumann. Operating across 28 countries with more than 3,300 employees and over 40 group companies, NKG positions itself as one of the world's leading green coffee service groups, serving both large roasting industries and specialty roasters.
The group's activities span the full coffee value chain, from farm to roaster. Its services include milling and export, import, logistics, warehousing, financing, insurance, and coffee market statistics. NKG also operates three company-owned farms in Mexico, Brazil, and Uganda, and provides farm management services beyond its own holdings. This end-to-end model allows NKG to deliver integrated solutions to its customers at multiple points along the supply chain.
Sustainability is built into the company's operations through two dedicated programmes. NKG Bloom focuses on support for smallholder farmers, while NKG Verified is designed to ensure transparent and responsible sourcing practices across NKG's global supply chain. Both reflect the group's stated commitment to addressing sustainability at origin rather than as an afterthought.
NKG's exclusive focus on coffee - across commodity trading, agricultural operations, logistics, and finance - distinguishes it from more diversified commodity groups. The company is privately held and has remained family-run throughout its history.
