Cork-based Velo Coffee Roasters have just agreed a new two year deal with Aldi Ireland which will see their ground coffee supplied in all of their 149 Irish stores.
It is estimated that the company will sell almost 500,000 bags of coffee across Aldi's stores over the next two years.
As part of the deal, the Cork company's award-winning Velo Tandem Coffee will be rebranded under Aldi’s premium Specially Selected range as Velo Specially Selected.
The coffee will now also be sold in new fully recyclable packaging.
The company is based in Mayfield, County Cork and employs 14 staff members.
Velo Coffee Roasters began working with Aldi in 2018 as part of Grow with Aldi, and since partaking in the programme, the company has gone from strength to strength, with its coffee products a fan favourite in Aldi stores.
Speaking of the new deal, Rob Horgan, owner of Velo Coffee Roasters, said:
“We are thrilled to see Velo Tandem moving to Aldi’s Specially Selected range and are immensely proud to have gone from an unknown coffee company in 2018 to now, only a short time later, seeing such strong sales and being included in Aldi’s Specially Selected range in stores nationwide. Working with Aldi long-term has given us the security to expand and invest in our business and we look forward to working with Aldi for many years to come.”
