Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group is an Italian coffee company that owns multiple brands.
Massimo Zanetti developed the firm starting in the 1970s after he moved to Bologna and acquired a local company called Segafredo, an historic coffee producer with a fairly well known brand.
The Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group owns more than 20 consumer brands worldwide, including Chock full o'Nuts, Chase & Sanborn, MJB, Hills Bros., Segafredo Zanetti, Meira Oy, Brodies and Tiktak; that span a variety of products from espresso and coffee to tea and spices.
Additionally, Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group operates 11 roasting plants globally, has a worldwide distribution network of subsidiaries and authorised dealers in 100 countries; manufactures La San Marco professional bar equipment and espresso machines, and owns a network of over 600 Segafredo Zanetti Espresso cafés worldwide.
