Meet the NKG Coffee Council
The NKG Coffee Council is an expert body outside of the group’s governance designed to support strategic dialogue on key challenges and opportunities shaping the future of the coffee industry and the company. Launched by the shareholder, it brings together external experts with diverse professional backgrounds and perspectives. While some members have experience in the coffee sector, others come from very different industries. What unites them is a strong interest in NKG, its business model, and the global coffee landscape, as well as a shared commitment to open, high-level discussion.
With the NKG Coffee Council, we aim to create a structured space for reflection, challenge and inspiration – supporting informed strategic thinking as the company navigates an increasingly complex global coffee environment.

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.
