From September 7 to 9, Composants Diffusion had the pleasure of participating in the Paris Coffee Show 2024, a flagship event for coffee professionals. Idrys and Stéphane, representing our company, were able to exchange with many partners and customers, thus strengthening our collaborations. Stéphane, as a member of the jury of the Café Technician Championship, played a key role in the evaluation of the talents in the sector.
We had the pleasure of meeting Santos, a renowned manufacturer of coffee grinders, as well as other long-standing partners such as BWT, Nuova Simonelli, Jura, La Cimbali, Wega and Astoria.
It was also a special moment for Idrys, who was delighted to see former colleagues of Malongo, including Dominique Antonetti (head of Malongo training) and Jacques Jouve (in charge of key accounts and Corsica).
One of the highlights of the event was the receipt of the 2023 Santos Award of Merit, a recognition highlighting our commitment to coffee.
We would like to thank the Collectif Café, the Paris Coffee Show team, as well as our partners like Nuova Simonelli and BWT for their support. Thank you also to the judges and participants.
