What is Neumann Kaffee Gruppe (NKG) and what does nkg.net offer?
Updated
nkg.net is the corporate website of Neumann Kaffee Gruppe (NKG), a privately owned, globally operating green coffee service group whose business focuses on a single product: coffee. The site is aimed at anyone who wants to understand what NKG is, how its companies fit along the green coffee value chain, and how to reach the right local contact. It is an information and contact hub rather than an online shop — the page evidence shows no pricing, product listings, or e-commerce functions.
What NKG is
NKG describes itself as a green coffee service group working "for and with coffee," with coffee as the only product its business focuses on. Key facts from the site:
- Ownership and leadership: The group is privately owned and run. David M. Neumann, of the founder family's third generation, is Managing Partner and oversees the group together with his Management Team.
- Scale: The site states more than 40 companies in 28 countries with more than 3,300 employees. (Note: the site's own description text also cites different figures — "more than 50 companies in 26 countries and more than 2,600 employees" — so treat the exact numbers as approximate and subject to change.)
- Scope of services: Export and milling, import, farm management, insurance, logistics, warehousing, financing, and statistics.
- Sustainability stance: The site frames social, environmental, and economic considerations as an integral part of the business model, with sustainability work starting "on the ground."
The five business areas on the site
The homepage organizes NKG's activity along the green coffee value chain into five sections:
| Area | What the site says it does |
|---|---|
| Export & Milling | Export companies and mills prepare green coffee for export |
| Import | Import companies serve the roasting industry and small specialty roasters |
| Farming | NKG produces green coffees on three farms in Mexico, Brazil, and Uganda |
| Agents & Representative Offices | Connect local producers and suppliers with international buyers |
| Services | Service companies along the supply chain add value for customers |
There is also an Initiatives section covering NKG's own and collaborative efforts toward a sustainable coffee business.
What you can actually do on nkg.net
The site functions as a corporate information and routing tool. Based on the page content, visitors can:
- Read the group overview — who NKG is, its ownership structure, and its scale.
- Understand the value chain — how export, import, farming, agency, and service businesses fit together.
- Learn about sustainability initiatives — the site links to further detail via "Find out more about us."
- Find a local contact — a "Find your local contact" entry point is provided for getting in touch.
- Follow announcements and posts — the homepage includes an announcements and posts section.
One practical caveat: the homepage embeds a Vimeo video behind a consent placeholder. To view it, you must accept the third-party service, which shares data with that provider.
Who the site is for
- Coffee trade and roasting professionals looking for a supplier group with import and export operations.
- Producers and local suppliers seeking representation or a route to international buyers.
- Journalists, researchers, or students needing a factual overview of a major green coffee group.
- Potential partners or applicants wanting to understand NKG's structure before making contact.
If you need pricing, order placement, or account login, this site does not provide those functions based on the available evidence — the appropriate next step is to use the local contact finder.
