About Us
History
Salvador Rodriguez’ (CEO and founder) passion for the coffee business began in 1999 when he made a commercial tour to Europe with his father, Mr. Anibal Rodriguez Chavez. This was his first experience interacting with green coffee buying clients in Germany, Holland, and Denmark.
Maku Coffee Sociedad Anonima is a family-owned and operated business founded back in 2017 with a supply chain of 25 small producers located in the San Juan Rio Coco and Dipilto area. Currently, the company has a supply chain of more than 400 small coffee producers, 7 purchasing centers, and more than 300 small producers certified under the Rainforest Alliance and Cafe Practices seals.
