Our Team in Hamburg
Meet our colleagues
Our Headquarters in Hamburg combine many different services and several group companies under one roof. But no matter which department or company we belong to and how different our daily tasks may be: our enthusiasm for our favorite product makes us a coffee community trying to support each other as best as we can. Meet some of our appreciated colleagues, who are working together at Coffee Plaza:
Coffee Plaza
Where Hamburg’s coffee heart beats
Our Headquarters are located in the growing district HafenCity. Overlooking the harbor and historical Speicherstadt, our site reminds us of the long tradition that coffee trade has in this city every day. In addition to Neumann Gruppe, further group companies are also represented at our CoffeePlaza: Bernhard Rothfos, InterAmerican Coffee, and Internationale Commodity Logistik. While our employees enjoy the modern facilities and many other amenities on a daily basis, this is no new ground for us: for many successful decades, this place was home to the silos and facilities of the coffee warehouse Kaffee-Lagerei. This company was founded, among others, by the merchant Bernhard Rothfos. Kaffee-Lagerei meanwhile has become NKG Kala, our state-of-the-art warehouse and processing plant, which is now located in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg, just a few kilometers from Coffee Plaza.
