 During the 1950s, building on the strong domestic position of Douwe Egberts coffee and Pickwick tea, the company spread its wings internationally. In 1978, Douwe Egberts proudly announced an alliance with the Sara Lee Corporation, which opened new horizons worldwide. Today Douwe Egberts belongs to the top 3 of largest coffee roasters in the world.
Douwe Egberts Coffee Systems started its out-of-home activities about forty years ago. During the first decade, The Netherlands was the main market. In the years after, a rapid international expansion accelerated the growth of the out-of-home activities. Through both autonomous growth and acquisitions, Douwe Egberts Coffee Systems has become one of the leading coffee systems suppliers today in the world with over 1 million customers in more than 50 countries.
