Café Pilão

Café Pilão is a household name in Brazil, established in 1978. It has grown to become one of the country's most synonymous coffee brands, known for its traditional dark roast and intense aroma that caters to the preferences of the local population.

Originally launched by the Brazilian company União dos Refinadores, the brand has undergone several changes in corporate ownership due to the consolidation of the global coffee market. Today, Pilão is part of the portfolio of JDE Peet's, which is the world's largest pure-play coffee and tea company by revenue. While the brand maintains its deep Brazilian heritage and local production facilities, its ultimate corporate home is in the Netherlands.
