Hausbrandt Trieste 1892

What Hausbrandt Trieste 1892 does

Hausbrandt Trieste 1892 S.p.A. is an Italian premium coffee roaster founded in Trieste in 1892 by Hermann Hausbrandt and led since 1988 by Martino Zanetti. The company operates a unified roasting plant in Nervesa della Battaglia (Treviso) and a 40,000 sqm green-coffee warehouse at the Port of Trieste that handles 10,000 containers and 1,000,000 x 60kg bags annually. Roasting technology is built around a slow methodology at 210°C for 15-16 minutes with thermal-probe monitoring and the patented Grevenbroich electric-motor roasting/cooling system (1990), followed by two-stage visual, microscopic, and organoleptic quality control on pre-shipment and arrival samples. The portfolio covers whole beans, ground coffee, Epica and Nespresso-compatible capsules, pods, instant, and single-origin 100% Arabica lines from Colombia, Brazil, and Honduras, complemented by a 2024 Fairtrade/Organic certified SKU and a 2025 'A coffee-time moment' at-home assortment.

The business model is dual-channel. The primary channel is B2B Ho.Re.Ca. (Hotels, Restaurants, Cafés, Bars, Catering) served through a dedicated field sales network delivering coffee supply, equipment on loan with installation/maintenance/repair, venue consultancy (menu development, brand positioning), and Academia HTS professional training including SCA certification. Secondary D2C revenue flows through two company-owned retail stores (Nervesa della Battaglia and Susegana, the latter temporarily closed for renovation) and an Italy-only e-commerce platform with free shipping above €49. Complementary products — Theresianer beer and gin, Col Sandago wines, Ronnefeldt teas, Zerocinquanta beer, and Champagne Martin des Orsyn — are distributed as in-house accessories, and complementary revenue from partnership-driven distribution and training services diversifies the income base.

Hausbrandt holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22000, BRC, IFS, Organic, Fairtrade, Halal, and Kosher certifications concurrently, supporting multinational hospitality accounts. The company is part of Gruppo Hausbrandt, which also includes the Academia HTS training entity, Fondazione Hausbrandt (cultural foundation), and Col Sandago winery. Worldwide presence is claimed across hotels and cultural institutions in Europe, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Southern Africa, South America, Central Asia, and Oceania, though detailed revenue, growth, and customer-concentration figures are not publicly disclosed.
