Established
in 1921, Café Madrid S.A is the oldest coffee factory in Colombia,
founded even before the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia.
Our company began when Don Abel Londoño, a well-known Antioquian
businessman and entrepreneur, founded (at the age of 18 years), the
first coffee roasting company in Colombia. This beginning is registered
in the National Federation of Coffee Growers archives. And the company
was officially created in 1927.
From the beginning,
the company has been called CAFÉ MADRID, a name that evoked feelings
of elegance, distinction and prestige at that time. Now CAFÉ
MADRID is a name that evokes feelings of history, consistency, and quality
after over 85 years of experience in the business.
In the beginning, CAFÉ MADRID coffee was delivered on bicycle
to its clients in parchment paper from our factory to their homes. The
clients ground their coffee by hand at home to appreciate the aroma
and flavor of the finest roast coffee in the country.
Over the years CAFÉ MADRID has maintained its quality coffee,
reputation, and service while constantly updating and changing its equipment
to stay at the forefront of the coffee industry both in its laboratories
and industrial equipment. CAFÉ MADRID is proud to carry the Probat
label -- the guarantee and backing to work with the best equipment of
the coffee industry. And in 1992 Madrid S.A. was the first business
in Colombia to develop and patent the degassing valve -- a novel way
to keep coffee fresh.
Today,
after 85 years of experience CAFÉ MADRID continues with its innovative
spirit and openness to change and improvements. We currently have a
wide variety of roasted and ground coffee and instant coffee products.
Moreover, we're working to develop new products in order to diversify
our current list and offer you, our customers, more coffee possibilities.
Throughout the years, we dedicated our efforts to specializing in the
National market, proud to have served customers like: AVIANCA, COLANTA,
GRUPO CRISTAL, HOTELES DANN CARLTON, ISS, among others.
CAFÉ MADRID
is proud to begin its latest step -- exportation. We want to share the
best coffee in the world with you, your customers, your businesses and
clients. We look forward to working with you soon.
