First of all we recommend you view the following text
boxes, dealing with soluble coffee: 02.10.02, 02.10.03 and
02.10.04.
The identification of technical consultancy services is beyond
the scope of this website but the following organizations may
perhaps be able to provide you with relevant information:
AFCASOLE - Association des Fabricants de Café
Soluble des Pays de la Communauté Economique Européenne/Association
of Soluble Coffee Manufacturers of the European Union, at afcasole@coffee-associations.org.
British Coffee Association, at bcainformation@btopenworld.com.
Association of Spanish Soluble Coffee
Manufacturers, at secretaria@tostadorescafe.com.
ABIC - Brazilian Coffee Industry Association,
at abecafe@coastalway.com.br.
We recommend to be as precise as possible when making contacts,
indicating in as much detail as possible what exactly you are
looking for: design consultancy, equipment, technical assistance,
brand development, licensing agreements, etc. Also describe your
current activities in or outside coffee, the scope of your initial
and longer-term investment plans, the end product you are aiming
at, expected plant capacity, preferred type of plant…
Information on individual service providers in these
fields can of course also be found on the Internet, not only in
Europe but also elsewhere. For example, at www.teaandcoffee.net you
will find the Uker's Coffee and Tea Directory that includes names
of equipment suppliers and other coffee related service
providers.
