Using the high quality pergamon and oro coffee varieties processed in the new plant, the company plans to supply the markets of Japan, the USA and Europe.

René Kanne, general manager, told Elperiodico.com.gt that "... The design is totally different, we have two warehouses, one for pergamon coffee and one for oro coffee; all of these products are high quality so that they can be sent to the projected markets. "

Chris Pardey, owning partner of the group, said that "... the new plant required an investment of $4 million and a working time of two years ..." and "..The projection is to increase the capacity to export products from the country, for which reason we believe that we will manage to globally position coffee in the market for this product."
