Cia. Cacique de Café Solúvel was founded by Mr. Horacio Coimbra in 1959. It was the happy product of two elements: raw materials and business foresight. The north of the State of Paraná in Brazil, with Londrina at its center, was the site of the largest concentration of coffee lands in the world. There, drawn by the coffee industry, the entrepreneurial spirit of neighboring São Paulo took root and flourished, endowing northern Paraná with manufacturing experience. From this fertile union was born the idea of exporting industrialized coffee in its most concentrated form - synthetic or instant. Mr. Coimbra was able to draw together and encourage like-minded people to make this idea a reality. Although making the reality come true did not take much time, it did take a heavy toll on Mr. Coimbra and all who contributed to the undertaking of creating the world’s largest instant coffee exporter.
Cacique in Brazil: From the date of its founding, Cacique has consistently invested in the professional development of its employees and in the modernization of its plant and equipment - ensuring that Cacique de Café Solúvel maintain a leadership position in the international market.
