Kenco is a prominent coffee brand with a rich history dating back to 1923, originally founded in London as the Kenya Coffee Company. Over the decades, it evolved into a household name within the United Kingdom and Ireland, known for its commitment to high-quality coffee and sustainable sourcing practices, including historical ties to Rainforest Alliance certification.
Today, Kenco Millicano—a 'whole bean instant' blend—is produced and distributed under the global umbrella of JDE Peet's. Following the merger of D.E Master Blenders 1753 and the coffee division of Mondelez International, the brand consolidated its position in the European coffee market. While the brand has deep British roots, its manufacturing operations occur across multiple European facilities depending on the specific product line and packaging format. The ultimate ownership lies with JDE Peet's, which is headquartered in the Netherlands and largely controlled by the investment firm JAB Holding Company.
