Miko NV

What Miko NV does

Miko NV is a Belgian family-owned coffee roasting company founded in 1801 by the Michielsen family, publicly listed on the Brussels exchange (EBR:MIKO) and headquartered in Turnhout, Belgium. The company operates across 14 countries and 5 continents with approximately 1,100 employees, running wholly-owned subsidiaries including Miko Kaffee GmbH (Germany), Mikávénk Kft. (Hungary), and Miko Africa, alongside a network of distributor partners in markets such as Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, the United States, and several African and Caribbean geographies.

Miko's core capability is coffee roasting and blending, supplemented by distribution of professional coffee machines from third-party manufacturers (Rex Royal, Schaerer, Delatti, Bravilor Bonamat) and a broad product format range including 1kg and 250g bags, prepacked portions, capsules, espresso pods, soft pods, pouch pack systems, and one-cup filters. The portfolio spans proprietary brands (Miko Coffee, Puro Fairtrade Coffee, Grand Milano Coffee, Freehand Coffee Roasters) plus a private label service in which Miko blends and roasts coffee under retailer and hospitality customers' own brands. In July 2025, Miko extended beyond coffee with the launch of Miko Matcha Premium Grade Powder in 200g pouches.

The business model combines B2B sales of roasted coffee and consumables to hospitality operators, hotels, offices, bakeries, healthcare facilities, and retailers, with subscription-style equipment rental (e.g., monthly office coffee plans starting at 150 RM in Malaysia), private label contract roasting, and recurring service revenue from barista training, technical support, and machine maintenance. Customer mix includes enterprise logos such as Mandarin Oriental, Mercedes, Shell, CVS Pharmacy, Kimberly Clark, Nokia, Dyson, Huawei, and OCS, distributed across multiple industries and geographies.
