The Fountain Group

As described above, Fountain is a Belgian company specialized in providing coffee machines for businesses. Today present in three countries (Belgium, France, Denmark), the company was created in Belgium 50 years ago around an innovative concept of coffee cartridges. which became obsolete. The company has turned to bean-to-cup machines for ecological and quality reasons in the cup. This pivot, initiated in 2021, is already bearing fruit, the company booked a strong growth the last 2 years and has ambitious objectives for the coming years! ;-)

Javry is a young Brussels-based company whose mission is to accelerate the consumption of ethical and eco-responsible coffee! Javry targets individuals, bulk stores, and businesses, with a particular focus on the latter segment. Digital is part of Javry's DNA: we develop a strong brand on the web, and our customers manage their deliveries and coffee machines via an online platform.

Javry joined the Fountain Group in July 2022. Although the two companies target more or less the same customers, they have different and complementary value propositions. Javry brings to the group a strong digital dimension and aims to provide its knowledge and support to Fountain in this area, particularly in digital marketing. Fountain brings to the group its operational excellence and its network of coffee machine technicians and installers.
