D.E. Master Blenders 1753 NV is a Netherlands-based global coffee and tea company that specializes in the roasting, blending and marketing of hot beverage products. The firm’s core business encompasses branded retail offerings, single-serve coffee solutions and professional equipment for commercial and office use. Through integrated production processes, it delivers roasted beans, ground coffee, coffee capsules, instant coffee and tea across multiple channels.
The company’s portfolio features well-known names such as Douwe Egberts, Senseo, L’OR and Pickwick, along with an array of specialty and premium blends. In addition to consumer-oriented formats—including coffee machines, espresso systems and tea infusers—the firm supplies custom coffee programs and support services for cafés, hotels, restaurants and workplace environments. This diversified approach enables D.E. Master Blenders to serve both retail and out-of-home segments effectively.
Operating in Europe, the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region, the company maintains a network of production facilities and distribution centers in strategic locations. Its products are distributed through supermarkets, specialty shops, convenience outlets and online platforms, supplemented by partnerships with foodservice operators and office coffee suppliers. This global footprint supports localized offerings and ensures responsiveness to regional tastes and consumption trends.
Founded in Joure, Netherlands in 1753, D.E. Master Blenders has evolved from a family-owned roaster into a multinational entity through a series of mergers, acquisitions and strategic alliances. The combination with the coffee business of a major snack manufacturer in 2015 expanded its scale and product range, and a subsequent public listing in Amsterdam enhanced its corporate profile. The company is governed by a seasoned management team led by Chief Executive Officer Fabien Simon, with a board committed to innovation, sustainability initiatives and continued growth in established and emerging markets.
