Algrano was our first step into direct sourcing four years ago, and they still play a key role in a lot of our supply chains. Their segmented service offering helps us create the leanest supply chain to suit our business needs at any time. The Algrano shipping service helps us get containers on the water as fast as possible, giving us a lot of flexibility and efficiency.

Algrano’s shipping services ensured the smooth transport of our coffees from the farm to various buyers in Europe. Shipping can be daunting, with a lot of paperwork and communication needed from both parties. Algrano’s team gives us constant updates and replies quickly to our queries at all times. I look forward to many more years of seamless direct trade.

One of the main benefits for me is that I can choose the services I want. For the coffees from Fazendas Klem, Algrano does quality assurance. For the ones from Cafesmo, Algrano only does the shipping, because we’ve been there and cupped with Sebastian. I can save money depending on the service I choose.
