What Dallmayr does

Dallmayr, legally Alois Dallmayr KG, is a Munich-based family-owned food and beverage company founded in 1700 and operating across coffee, tea, delicatessen retail, restaurants, catering, and professional coffee services. The core product portfolio includes the prodomo, d'Oro, Ethiopia, Röstkunst, capsa, and Home Barista coffee lines, a full tea range, and ancillary accessories, supported by in-house roasting at the Munich flagship and dedicated production sites in Bremen (Azul roastery) and Brunswick (tea). Consumer-facing operations center on the historic Delicatessen on Dienerstrasse in Munich, which houses Restaurant Alois (two Michelin stars under Rosina Ostler), Bar & Grill, Café-Bistro, and the adjacent Coffee Club to-go concept, alongside a catering arm and an e-commerce shop at dallmayr-versand.de.

The business generates revenue through four primary streams: branded coffee and tea product sales through retail, e-commerce, and HORECA channels; foodservice and restaurants across multiple price tiers including a Michelin-starred venue; B2B vending and office coffee solutions bundled with equipment, service, and Dallmayr Pay; and HORECA professional services combining consultation, supply, and maintenance for hotels, restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and caterers. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct sales teams serve enterprise and HORECA accounts, while consumer reach is built on flagship retail, online, content marketing through the Dallmayr Academy, and a loyalty program. The active customer base spans retail consumers, office/corporate accounts, HORECA operators, and event customers across Germany and selected European markets including Belgium, Spain, France, Italy, and the Netherlands.

Sustainability and social programs are woven into operations through mono-PE recyclable packaging, organic product certification (DE-ÖKO-005), UTZ/Rainforest Alliance traceability, and inclusion partnerships employing people with disabilities at the Bremen and Brunswick sites. Ownership remains with general partners Florian Randlkofer and Dr. Johannes Dengler, with no external institutional capital, public listing, M&A activity, or disclosed revenue figures in the source data.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Jacobs Douwe Egberts (JDE Peet's): Global coffee and tea CPG major (Jacobs brand particularly strong in Germany), with full-spectrum bean/ground/instant/capsule coverage plus foodservice. A scaled incumbent with broader geographic reach but overlapping product portfolio with Dallmayr's mass-premium positioning.
• Nestlé Nespresso: Premium capsule coffee brand with strong German presence, owned B2B offering, and full capsule machine ecosystem. Directly competes with Dallmayr's capsa aluminum capsule range for at-home premium consumption, particularly in German retail and corporate gifting.
• Lavazza: Italian coffee roaster with global premium positioning, capsule systems, HORECA distribution, and foodservice offerings. Operates broadly across coffee but competes with Dallmayr in d'Oro-style espresso blends, capsule retail, and European HORECA channels.
• Segafredo Zanetti: Italian espresso brand with both CPG products and a worldwide café chain (Segafredo Zanetti Espresso). Comparable as a vertically integrated coffee roaster operating premium CPG, foodservice, and own-retail formats like Dallmayr's Coffee Club and restaurants.

Direct peers

• Ronnefeldt: German premium tea specialist with strong HORECA and hotel channel presence. Comparable to Dallmayr's tea division (pyramid teabags, loose leaf, Darjeeling First Flush) and particularly relevant as a peer for the Brunswick tea production operation and B2B tea distribution across European hotels and restaurants.
• Melitta: German coffee and filter brand with both CPG bean/ground coffee and B2B coffee solutions (Melitta Professional). Comparable in coffee manufacturing scale, German market dominance, and emphasis on quality/professional service.
• Tchibo: Hamburg-based German coffee roaster and CPG brand with comparable B2C coffee, capsule, and food retail operations. Competes head-to-head with Dallmayr's prodomo and capsule lines in German retail and offers the closest like-for-like benchmark in the German coffee market.
• Coffee Fellows: German coffee bar/café chain with in-house roasting and broad DACH presence. Directly competes with Dallmayr's Coffee Club to-go and Café-Bistro offerings for German specialty coffee on-the-go and café occasions.

Emerging players

• Bonanza Coffee Roasters: Berlin-based specialty coffee roaster focused on single-origin, micro-lot offerings with wholesale and own-café operations. Competes with Dallmayr's Röstkunst and Ethiopia single-origin lines at the artisanal specialty end of the German coffee market, representing a more nimble craft-tier challenger.

Regional players

• Paulig: Finnish family-owned coffee roaster with European presence across retail CPG and B2B coffee services. Highly comparable as a family-owned, multi-generation coffee producer with similar brand heritage emphasis and HORECA/vending operations, though primarily serving the Nordics and Baltics rather than DACH.
