La Marzocco opens branch in Germany

Producer of traditional high-end handcrafted espresso machines, La Marzocco, has announced the opening of a new branch office in Germany, La Marzocco Deutschland GmbH. The 90-year old Florentine manufacturer continues to promote its philosophy and products around the world, building on its identity through a strong company culture, heritage and technology. In light of a booming specialty coffee sector in Germany, the territory has become strategically important for La Marzocco, the company said in a statement. This will be La Marzocco’s ninth international branch, this one in collaboration with its long-time partner Pasquale De Falco, from Nuova Ricambi Deutschland, the official La Marzocco Spare Parts supplier in Germany. The aim of the newly founded office and showroom near Stuttgart is to create a platform for the entire specialty coffee community to connect and thrive. La Marzocco Deutschland will distribute espresso machines and spare parts in the country through robust support and training, as well as through the launch of local trade, community and educational bean-to-cup events for both clients and customers as well as coffee professionals and enthusiasts. La Marzocco Deutschland is located in Maulbronner Weg, 25 in 71706 Markgröningen, Germany. More information about the opening will be shared on occasion of the Internorga tradeshow in Hamburg, from 17 to 21 March.
