Franke Coffee Systems, a renowned Swiss manufacturer of professional fully automatic coffee machines, is thrilled to announce its entry into the Indian market. Franke will be exhibiting at the 39th edition of the International Food and Hospitality Fair (AAHAR) in Delhi from March 4th to 8th, 2025. This marks a significant milestone as Franke participates under its own brand for the first time, solidifying its presence in the Asia-Pacific region. Following successful expansions in Japan, China, and Australia, Franke Coffee Systems is now set to extend its footprint in India, representing its next major growth phase in the region.
Recognized as a leader in delivering top-tier coffee solutions, Franke Coffee Systems offers an unparalleled coffee experience powered by Swiss innovative technology, ensuring consistency and quality in every cup. At the expo, Franke Coffee Systems will not only showcase its iconic coffee machines but also present its groundbreaking technology innovations. The company aims to support the development of India’s coffee industry and provide local consumers with a high-quality coffee experience.
The AAHAR Fair is the perfect venue for Franke’s India launch, showcasing different models of its A-line fully automatic coffee machines. The award-winning and compact A300, the winner of the renowned iF Design Award 2021, the Red Dot Award for Product Design 2021, and the Good Design Award 2021, is ideal for preparing premium coffee beverages in limited spaces, such as workplaces and boutique hotels. The versatile semi-automatic S700 is perfect for quick-service restaurants and coffee shop chains, while the A400, A600, and A800 are ideal for self-serve areas such as hotel breakfast rooms, convenience stores, and fitness gyms. These models will be showcased at Franke’s booth no. 6-07E in Hall 6. Stefan Niederberger, Vice President for Asia Pacific at Franke Coffee Systems, will attend the trade show to engage with the Indian audience and gain first-hand insights into local market needs.

Mr. Niederberger continues, “Franke sees India as a high-potential market for the future. We want to leverage our strong local footprint with our sister company Franke Faber India to provide the best support to customers aiming to launch successful and profitable coffee programs. Franke views business with a long-term perspective, and we are committed to supporting all our customers with this mindset.
