Vintage Coffee and Beverages Limited (VCBL) has unveiled ambitious plans to fortify its position in the global coffee market, announcing a series of strategic initiatives aimed at bolstering production capacity, expanding market presence, and delivering enhanced value to consumers.

Mr. Balakrishna Tati, Chairman and Managing Director of Vintage Coffee and Beverages Limited, says “VCBL remains committed to delivering excellence in quality and service while spearheading innovation and expansion in the global coffee market. We are excited about the journey ahead and look forward to continued success and growth”.

In response to the surging global demand for coffee, VCBL has made the strategic decision to enhance the production capacity by an additional 2000 MT, aiming for an annual capacity of 6500 MT. The process of installing this additional capacity will commence in the upcoming months and is expected to be completed by the end of the Q4FY25. VCBL also aims to ramp up utilisation of current 4500 MTPA capacities by end of Q2FY25 to 100% from 52% in Q3FY24. The proceeds from the current preferential issue of shares would help the company in meeting its working capital needs for ramping up the current utilization and in undertaking the required brownfield capex.

This brownfield expansion will result in a substantial increase in VCBL’s daily production capacity from the current 13 MT to 18 MT during the early stages of the fourth quarter of the current financial year. With this enhanced capacity, VCBL will pivot its sales strategy towards providing value-added products under various brands with stringent certifications.”

Moreover, VCBL is set to commission modern automated packaging lines to ensure safe and efficient container outturns. They are delighted to announce that VCBL has secured major contracts in the Middle East, Europe, Russia, and West Africa. Moreover, VCBL plans to introduce its proprietary brands in West Africa and Russia, capitalizing on emerging market opportunities.

Furthermore, VCBL aims to penetrate select segments of the Indian market, including e-commerce, HORECA, and retail spaces. With these strategic initiatives in place, they anticipate a further increase of 150% in revenue by the conclusion of the fiscal year 2025.
