For 110 year now, the business is family-run and has stayed true to their original values: humanity, solidarity and safeguarding culture and environment for future generations. Lavazza was always commited to social services, even before the social responsibilities of companies towards their employees and to society in general got into the focus of interest in the late 90’s of the last century.
