COTECA Hamburg is Europe’s first specialist coffee, tea and cocoa exhibition that covers the whole of the process chain from raw materials to ready-to-drink hot beverages. This is the first time that the three major hot drinks are featured together at one event, and it presents each of them at every stage of growing, processing and production.
That makes COTECA Hamburg Europe’s most exciting trade fair and meeting point for these industries. It is accompanied by a high-calibre conference, analysing the future of the boom market for coffee, tea and cocoa products.
The industries present at COTECA Hamburg include:

COTECA Hamburg is ideal in location and timing. The whole event will be held in the heart of Hamburg, a city with a centuries-old tradition of handling exquisite coffee, tea and cocoa specialities. A city which is long established as Europe’s main handling centre. Hamburg is proud of the heritage coffee warehouses in the “Speicherstadt” district, and is also the headquarters of many of the big players who study and serve consumer trends throughout the world. We are getting plenty of positive feedback on the COTECA Hamburg. Hanns-Christian Neumann, Head of Communication at Neumann Kaffee Gruppe, the world’s leading green coffee service provider, put it like this: “COTECA produced an amazing response. Our expectations were more than met, and we were able to build new business relations.” And that Hamburg is just the right place. And Hamburg has much more to offer well – you can look forward to a wide range of entertainment both in the COTECA supporting programme and in the city of Hamburg.
COTECA Hamburg enables you to present your company and concepts in an effective, focused and targeted way, just right for your target group. That saves energy and effort, and optimises the use of your B2B communication budget.
The three days of this event enable you to make contacts and meet new customers, keeping on track for success. That helps you to build a network of contacts that will grow rapidly and naturally – something that would otherwise take years.
We look forward to welcoming you as an exhibitor.
We developed the idea for COTECA Hamburg together with the German Coffee Association, and are delighted to have its official support. The idea of a trade show covering the whole of the process chain for all hot beverages under one roof meets with full and wide-ranging support in the industry. Holger Preibisch, Executive Director of the Association, is totally convinced by the concept – “The hot drinks market has been enjoying strong growth rates for many years. The German coffee market in particular has a very prominent position in coffee trading, coffee processing, and coffee consumption. So Germany deserves its own fair in Hamburg, the capital of coffee.” COTECA Hamburg comes at the right place and at the right time, not only for the coffee industry. The tea and cocoa industries are also booming and are strongly rooted in Hamburg; the German market is very important for them, too, and this will be reflected in the exhibitors and visitors.
We want COTECA Hamburg to be a full success for you as an exhibitor. That is why we offer you our supporting service – with customized planning of your fair stand, to ensure optimal value for money, and with handling of all the other details of preparation including appropriate hotel accommodation. That is our concept of full service.
