Company profile

" I have been asked to tell the story of this constantly growing company, a company that I strongly wanted and to which I dedicated all my energies, my positive and negative moments.
A company in which I have involved and I am still involving all my family... including my nieces. The company was formally created as an individual enterprise in the form of a family owned and operated business in 1980, but the idea wasn’t… it is older. With a friend of mine, who is still working in the same sector, I chose the name: it had to be a name recalling the coffee growing countries, a name inspiring a liking, warmth and it had to be easy to remember… Amigos!

Shortly after the name came the idea of the logo: simple and amusing.The first time I saw the sombrero I had no doubts; that would be the logo representing the blends I wanted to create.            
And then... then time flies. The positive performance of the company, which has been and is rewarding my and my family’s entrepreneurship, has lead us to change location twice as we were lacking space and couldn’t face demand from foreign markets, European and not.

Honestly, I can say that in these 30 years there have been easy moments and less easy ones, but me and my family never gave up ...... we continued with humility and devotion to take care of the company and its customers, who still believe in us and in our product.”
