PROFILE |
 |
A.L. Van Houtte wants to percolate in all of North America with its gourmet coffees and coffee services. Canada's leading gourmet coffee maker, it offers the A.L. Van Houtte, Orient Express, Gold Cup, and other brands of specialty and gourmet coffees. The company's coffees are sold to more than 2,000 grocery stores, convenience stores, and restaurants, as well as in about 90 (nearly 40 franchised) A.L. Van Houtte Café-Bistros. Subsidiary VKI Technologies invented the single-cup coffee-brewing machine for offices. Coffee and vending machine services and its coffee equipment account for nearly 70% of its sales. The Van Houtte family owns nearly one-third of the acquisitive company, which was founded in 1919.
