Coffee Holding Co., Inc. supplies businesses with unroasted beans and packaged roasted coffee, earning most of its revenue in North America. It buys beans sourced from coffee-growing countries through dealers, mainly based in the United States, and sells unroasted specialty coffee to roasters and coffee-shop operators that process it themselves.
For customers that want to sell coffee under their own names without manufacturing it, the company roasts, blends and packages coffee to their specifications. It also makes coffee under its own brands and licensed names, including S&W and IL CLASSICO, selling to supermarkets, wholesalers and independent stores.
Green coffee is its largest single cost, so profitability depends on bean purchase prices and how quickly it can adjust customer prices. Sharp cost increases may not be passed on promptly or fully. One customer supplies a meaningful share of sales, and most customers have no long-term contracts, making repeat orders important to the business.
The risk section is the longest, dullest part of the filing. This keeps only what can really hurt you: where it hits, how hard, when it plays out.
Every company claims an edge. Each one is checked against hard numbers like margins and returns: which hold, and which line gives way first.
Coffee Holding’s results hinge on green-coffee costs and keeping wholesale customers; its named main U.S. private-label coffee rival is Massimo Zanetti Beverage Company, not vehicle maker Massimo Group.
Smucker competes for the same retail coffee purchases as Coffee Holding, selling Folgers, Café Bustelo and packaged Dunkin’ coffee against Coffee Holding’s own brands sold through supermarkets, wholesalers and independent stores. Watch Smucker’s coffee promotions, especially in the northeastern United States, where its greater marketing resources put pressure on Coffee Holding’s branded coffee sales.

J.M. Smucker’s report will show how Folgers, Café Bustelo and packaged Dunkin’ coffee compete for the same retail purchases as Coffee Holding’s own brands.
Read Smucker’s coffee sales alongside its promotion activity. If sales hold without heavier promotions, Smucker is keeping customers without leaning harder on discounts, leaving less pressure on Coffee Holding’s own brands. If sales hold only with more promotion, Smucker is competing more aggressively for the same retail purchases, making those brands harder for Coffee Holding to sell.
