Elan Organics acquired by InterAmerican Coffee, Inc. InterAmerican Coffee, Inc, part of Neumann Kaffee Gruppe, has acquired Elan Organic Coffees as of September 3, 2008. Elan Organic Coffees is the largest strictly organic coffee importer in the United States and Neumann Kaffee Gruppe is one of the largest Coffee importers in the world. Elan Organic Coffees will continue to operate under its current name and staff, bringing the finest certified organic coffees to North American and International roasters. "We joined with InterAmerican Coffee in order to facilitate the rapid growth of organic coffee consumption, " said Karen Cebreros, President and Founder of Elan Organic Coffees. "Specialty coffees are moving into the mainstream and we needed a partner with substantial resources to ensure that all members in the coffee supply chain are fairly paid and respectfully treated. Elan's 20 year commitment to sustainable organic agriculture and fair and honest treatment of growers will now reach to a much higher level. Joining forces with InterAmerican ensures that we will continue to be a powerful advocate for the health and welfare of coffee growers and consumers." Kayd Neill, Director of Sales for Elan, adds, "We at Elan are really happy with this new development. Our clients will continue to receive our complete attention and we will be able to do fabulous things for our growers and suppliers. This is great!"
