Our Company
Since 1932, tradition and innovation
Saicaf’s story begins in 1932 in Bari, Southern Italy, with a small cafe, which serves a coffee that is so good that it soon becomes urgent to produce it for a larger market.
Saicaf, that is Società Anonima Industria Caffè (Coffee Industry Joint-Stock Company), begins distributing locally; a small production with a genuinely artisanal approach and a mindset oriented towards ever new challenges and the Future.
Saicaf’s journey continues, and Saicaf’s professionals travel to those countries where coffee is grown, to establish a direct relationship with the land: the first guarantee of final product’s quality.
No machine is good enough, if coffee isn’t good in the first place. And coffee can be good only if it’s grown in the right way and treated to perfection, with care and attention that arise from study and experience.
Over time, Saicaf brand and Saicaf-related coffee culture spread beyond local boundaries, but that special balance, secret of its success for almost a century, is still there: the balance between an artisanal approach to raw materials and a constant drive towards innovation, to create processes of industrial production that preserve product, promote it, and ensure consumers with constant quality, an immediately recognizable excellence, every time they taste Saicaf coffee.
Our Values
Tradition
It all starts in the South, in Bari, in 1932. In a small cafè, the place where coffee completes its journey. From this moment on, the road that connects the land where coffee plants grow to the coffee cup in which it is finally tasted has been travelled countless times.
Innovation
If tradition is made of attention in choosing the harvesting grounds and the best product processing, and above all attention to the needs of good coffee’s lovers, then tradition cannot be separated from innovation. The best challenge won by Saicaf over decades is to evolve and be renewed while staying deeply rooted in history.
Professionalism
Only highly qualified and motivated professionals can guarantee the balance between tradition and innovation, between an artisanal approach – and the same passion that, in 1932, gave birth to Saicaf – and the urge for continuous change, embracing the best technologies to guarantee taste and aroma that can be recognizable and of the highest quality.
