Tchibo Coffee

Tchibo is a prominent German coffee brand founded in 1949 by Max Herz and Carl Tchilinghiryan in Hamburg. The brand name is a combination of the first part of the name 'Tchiling' and 'Bohne' (the German word for bean). Originally operating as a mail-order coffee service, it has grown into one of Germany's most recognizable international retailers, known for its unique business model of rotating non-food merchandise alongside high-quality coffee products.

The product's manufacturing is primarily centered in Germany, particularly for its roasting processes, though the raw coffee beans are sourced globally from regions like South America and Africa. The packaging indicates a German production origin (noted by 'Alemanha' on the label). The brand is a family-owned enterprise, maintaining its independence from global conglomerates.

Today, the brand is owned by Maxingvest AG, a holding company controlled by the Herz family. This ensures that the brand remains under German ownership, continuing its legacy of coffee excellence and innovative retail strategies across European markets.
