DaVinci Gourmet, part of Kerry Group and a provider of beverage solutions, has announced a significant, long-term distribution partnership with Bewley’s, the Irish coffee-and-beverage company.
The partnership is built on a shared vision for the ‘future of coffee’, focusing on collaboration to identify trends and develop new drinks, with an aim of ensuring that Irish customers have the best-possible beverage experiences.
“We are thrilled to partner with Bewley’s, a brand that embodies the rich history and vibrant culture of Ireland,” said Aoife McDonald, strategic marketing director (Europe) at DaVinci Gourmet.
“This is a landmark moment for DaVinci Gourmet, as it marks our partnership with another iconic Irish company, and this collaboration allows us to bring our creative and inspiring beverage solutions to a wider audience in Ireland, helping Bewley’s customers create delicious taste experiences.”
Bewley’s, established in 1840, is known for its supply of premium coffee, tea and hot-chocolate products to over 4,000 customers in Ireland across all key foodservice channels, including coffee shops, hotels, restaurants, pubs and QSRs.
To mark this new partnership in the Irish market, Bewley’s and DaVinci Gourmet have teamed up to create a new range of drinks with on-trend refreshing beverages, such as the Iced Pistachio Latte and cold-brew options. They will also team up to deliver optimised profit and operational efficiencies to end operators.
“As a B Corp Irish business committed to sustainable sourcing and positively impacting the communities we work with, we are delighted to work DaVinci Gourmet, who share these values,” said Catherine Casserly, marketing director at Bewley’s.
“We are hugely committed to our partnership with Café Femenino, a foundation dedicated to empowering women coffee farmers. DaVinci Gourmet is also a proud sponsor of Café Femenino, reflecting this shared commitment to ethical sourcing and empowering women in the coffee industry.”
