CAPPAC

What CAPPAC does

CAPPAC B.V. is a Dutch private limited company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Boxtel, Netherlands, where it operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility producing 100% recyclable aluminum coffee capsules compatible with Nespresso® machines. The company positions itself as a single service partner for the European coffee market, offering three monetization paths: Private Label programs (customers select from CAPPAC's coffee blends, choose capsule colors from 12 variants, personalize lidfoil, and create custom packaging designs), Co-Packing services (contract manufacturing of customer-supplied coffee blends in CAPPAC's aluminum capsules), and its own consumer sub-brand EPIC Coffee (four certified varieties — Espresso, Espresso Decaf, Ristretto, Lungo — sold in 10 to 100-unit packaging sizes).

The underlying technology base is a modern production environment that CAPPAC claims is the largest aluminum capsule facility of its kind in Europe, with stated annual capacity of 1 billion capsules and production lines that are at most four years old. Capsule variants include Bronze, Honey Gold, Sage Green, Magenta Pink, Copper, Arctic Blue, Rose Pink, Quartz Brown, Yellow Gold, Emerald Green, Onyx Black, and Apricot Orange. All products are Rainforest Alliance certified, and the company extends its sustainability story to include circularity: aluminum is fully recyclable, while coffee grounds are processed into compost and biogas.

Commercially, CAPPAC runs an inside sales motion executed by a team of six account managers (two in external sales), supported by the Ridder CRM system for customer management, sales forecasting, and export documentation. The model is project-based and quote-driven across Europe, with no publicly disclosed pricing or customer roster. Marketing reach is centered on a bilingual company website (with a Coffee Updates industry blog), LinkedIn presence, and direct outreach to international clients. No public revenue figures, external funding rounds, parent company, or named institutional investors are disclosed in the source material.

Broad incumbents

• JDE Peet's (Jacobs Douwe Egberts / L'OR): Major global coffee roaster with the L'OR and Douwe Egberts capsule brands competing directly in the Nespresso-compatible segment. Comparable as both a competitor and a potential customer for CAPPAC's private-label services.
