Excelco Trading LP was founded in 1988, as a joint partnership between Rainer Schoenbach and Manfred Hermsen to market the decaffeinated coffees produced by CR3 Kaffeeveredlung M Hermsen GmbH in Germany, directly to the roasting community in the USA and Canada.
After more than 30 years, we continue to be the leading importer for these premium decaffeinated coffees. The headquarters is still located in Downtown Manhattan, where most of the coffee industry stakeholders were located years ago.
We store most of our coffees in New Jersey, but also utilize other warehouses and ports in North America. In addition to many years of coffee knowledge within the trading team, we are proud to have two licensed Q Graders and one ICE Exchange Grader on the team.
Our product offerings include a variety of different coffee certifications, such as Kosher, Halal, Organic, FairTrade and Rainforest/UTZ, as well as special community projects, such as “Women in Coffee”.
We are members of the Green Coffee Association, the Pacific Coast Coffee Association and the Southern Coffee Association.
