What Lofbergs Baltic does

Lofbergs Baltic (SIA Lofbergs Baltic) is a Latvian coffee roasting company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Swedish family-owned Lofbergs Group (Lofbergs Lila AB). It operates the largest coffee roastery in Latvia and one of the largest in the Baltic region from its Īekava facility, producing over 1.2 million cups per day and moving more than 36,000 tons of green coffee annually. The company sells whole beans, ground coffee, cold brew, and ready-to-drink ICE beverages to retail consumers, and provides a full-service HoReCa offering (professional coffee blends, espresso, specialty, instant, capsules compatible with Caffitaly Systems, plus equipment, training, and maintenance) to hotels, restaurants, cafes, and offices across Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. It also operates private-label production for export markets and runs an e-commerce channel via shop.lofbergs.se.

The underlying production technology is a proprietary slow-roasting method refined over 30+ years, with batches running an average of 12-15 minutes to develop full flavor profile, paired with an in-house quality-control laboratory that tastes every batch daily for flavor, aroma, and consistency, and a proprietary flavor palette developed by coffee expert Anna Nordstrom aligned to Speciality Coffee Association standards. Sustainability is embedded in the supply chain: 81% of coffee is certified under Rainforest Alliance, EU Organic, or Fairtrade (with a stated target of 100%), a 2030 goal of 50% organically certified green coffee, and a 100% fossil-free maritime transport partnership with Scanlog that reduces 1,800 metric tons of CO2 per year. The company holds Global Food Safety Initiative-aligned quality commitments and ranked 4th in Latvia by coffee bean sales volume according to 2023 Nielsen data.

The business model combines retail product sales, HoReCa equipment-and-service bundling, e-commerce, and private-label/OEM manufacturing for export customers. GTM is sales-led: direct enterprise field sales for HoReCa with full-service support (equipment recommendation, supply, staff training), and retail distribution through supermarkets, convenience stores, and owned digital channels across the Baltic region. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and routes through customer service rather than online price lists. Leadership includes Jurģis Bērziņš as Head of HoReCa Baltic, Kent Pettersson as Chief Commercial Officer for the Baltic and Finland markets, Inārs Ķempelis as Production Director, and Sandra Usačeva as Marketing Manager, with the broader group reporting a turnover of approximately 2 billion SEK.
