IMA Group at Specialty Coffee Expo 2019
11-14 April 2019 - Boston, MA - USA • Booth #953
Coffee is a fundamental part of food culture in the United States.
It is becoming an affordable luxury, with its drinkers moving towards higher-quality gourmet coffee, rather than the still common consumption on-the-go.
To better serve the coffee industry from A to Z, IMA Group has established the Coffee Hub, a cluster of specialist brands, each providing
a key slice of the experience and expertise needed.
Come and discover our coffee processing and packaging equipment: from coffee cleaning, roasting and grinding, up to pods
and capsules packaging, cartoning and end-of-line solutions.
