Coffee solutions company Melitta Professional is collaborating with Greek packaging company Hatzopoulos for its UK HoReCa sector launch.

Melitta is well established in a number of European countries, as well as North America, and is now set to release its new range of coffee blends later this year.

It formed an alliance with Greece-based packaging firm Hatzopoulos to create the blend’s distinctive packaging for the UK market.

Hatzopoulos has invested in cutting-edge technology and infrastructure at its Greek based production facilities, making it the packaging partner of choice for Melitta Professional.

The packaging developed for Melitta Professional’s new UK blends is designed specifically to maintain the aroma and flavour of the coffee, using ultra high barrier materials.
The finished product, which is easy to peel and reseal, is made with sharp and intense colours in a smooth and matte varnish finish to make the graphics strikingly prominent.

Alaster Siddle, global head of coffee at Melitta Professional, said: “The global coffee industry is all about people and relationships and this alliance between Melitta Professional and Hatzopoulos is a classic example of how quality people in the industry find a way to deliver a solution together.”

Theo Zontanos, managing director at Hatzopoulos, said: “Being appointed to exclusively handle packaging solutions for a global brand such as Melitta Professional is a great opportunity, and we are very proud to have been able to support with the launch of its UK coffee blends offering.”
