TriestEspresso Expo is an international B2B trade show dedicated to espresso and the coffee industry. Exhibitors include green coffee suppliers, roasting companies, equipment manufacturers, packaging providers, and service companies.
In 2026, the organizers will introduce private label as a dedicated area for the first time under the name Custom Coffee Industry. The section is designed to bring manufacturers together with buyers from retail, hospitality and foodservice, distribution, and e-commerce.
For Coffee Navigator, this segment is of particular interest as an indicator of market development. The team plans to examine contract manufacturing models, minimum order quantities, opportunities for custom recipe development and packaging, as well as differences in requirements across retail, HoReCa, and e-commerce channels.
The main objectives of the visit are to:
- study cooperation models between brand owners and contract manufacturers;
- compare product and packaging requirements across different sales channels;
- assess how contract manufacturing can make it easier to launch new coffee brands;
- collect data for further analysis of local coffee markets.
“Private label is often seen simply as another product category. What interests us more is what sits behind it: how easy it is for a company to launch a new product, how much of the process is handled by the manufacturer, and what different sales channels expect from suppliers. These details can reveal a great deal about how a market is structured and how developed it is,” says Sergey Baburov, founder of Coffee Navigator.
The team plans to compare the data collected at the exhibition with the indicators Coffee Navigator already uses to assess local markets. Following the visit, the company will prepare an analytical summary on the development of private label in the coffee industry and its potential impact on the emergence of new brands and the level of market competition.
