Our brand for<br />

coffee enjoyment.<br />

Outlook 2011:<br />

Further regional markets targeted<br />

In cooperation with our partner Hamilton Beach – a<br />

leading manufacturer of coffeemakers and appliances –<br />

we presented our latest coffee preparation products,<br />

such as new filter coffeemakers, at the “International<br />

Home and Houseware Show”. <strong>Melitta</strong>’s products for<br />

manual coffee preparation are enjoying increasing<br />

popularity. This form of coffee enjoyment is developing<br />

into a trend in America. <strong>Melitta</strong> therefore aims to position<br />

itself as the expert for manual filtration and support<br />

this claim with high-impact PR work.<br />

We intend to expand our coffee strategy on the US<br />

market and tap further regional markets. With our<br />

premium product range, we want to inform more coffee<br />

lovers about our 100 years of expertise in coffee preparation<br />

and strengthen our standing on the American<br />

market.<br />
