Expobar is a well-regarded brand specializing in espresso machines and coffee grinders, originally established in Gandia, Spain, in the mid-1980s by Rafael Olaso Peiró. The brand quickly became a staple in the European hospitality sector due to its focus on professional-grade reliability and affordability.

Over the years, the brand underwent significant corporate transitions. In 2008, it merged with the Swedish company Coffee Queen to form Crem International. Following a series of acquisitions, Crem was purchased by the American foodservice giant Welbilt in 2018. Subsequently, in 2022, Welbilt (and its portfolio including Crem) was acquired by the Ali Group, a leading global conglomerate in the commercial catering equipment industry headquartered in Italy. Today, Expobar exists as a key brand within the Ali Group's coffee division, often operating under the broader 'Crem' identity while maintaining its manufacturing roots in Spain and expanding production capabilities to Sweden and China.
