LONDON, United Kingdom — Komerz Ltd, the fast-growing global commerce and distribution platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Cafetex Group, the international coffee company behind popular brands Beanies and Coffeeway. Under this new agreement, Komerz becomes the exclusive distributor for the UK market, marking its official entry into the coffee category.
The partnership is projected to generate £5 million in revenue in the first year, with forecasts exceeding £20 million over the next four years. This expansion builds on Komerz’s strategy to integrate high-potential global consumer brands into its AI-powered distribution platform.
Through this exclusive agreement, Cafetex Group will gain access to Komerz’s robust omnichannel distribution network, powered by its proprietary Komerz OS platform—an AI/ML-enabled interface that integrates sales, marketing, customer development, and logistics.
“This partnership is a major milestone for Komerz as we enter the coffee space with a trusted and innovative partner like Cafetex Group,” said Ramesh Krishnamurthy, CEO of Komerz Ltd.
“Beanies and Coffeeway have already proven themselves globally, and Cafetex’s leadership in flavoured coffee—combined with their strength across all formats including instant, pods, ground, and ready-to-drink—perfectly aligns with current UK consumer preferences. We’re excited to scale these brands and make them household names across the UK through our tech-driven distribution model.”
Ioannis Benopoulos, CEO of Cafetex Group, added:
“We’ve long looked for a partner who could bring our brands to scale in the UK while maintaining our commitment to quality, innovation, and customer engagement. Komerz offers the reach and intelligence we need, especially with its focus on integrated growth across physical and digital retail. This is a key step in deepening our presence in one of Europe’s most exciting coffee markets—particularly in the flavoured segment where Beanies is already a category leader.”
This agreement also strengthens Komerz’s growing brand portfolio, which includes global leaders such as Unilever International. With Komerz OS enabling real-time decision-making, predictive analytics, and seamless supply chain coordination, the company is now uniquely positioned to become one of the fastest-growing global omnichannel consumer goods distribution businesses.
