About miko

miko was founded in Belgium in 1801 by the Michielson family. Although our group is now listed on the Belgian Stock Exchange, miko is still a family run business with strong family values.

Besides roasting and processing our coffee products, we also produce all our own top quality packaging and filter coffee systems in the factory in Turnhout.

Our plastics division also produces packaging for many household brand names including the tubs for much loved Wall’s Ice-cream.

In 1994 miko entered the UK coffee market. Today we turnover in excess of 13 million pounds and are a leader in the coffee service industry in that country.

We are proud to tell people that in 2003 our Belgian Head Office was awarded the prestigious “Company of the Year Award”.

In 2004 a small distributorship was established in Pretoria, South Africa. During the first few months of 2006 a decision was taken to launch a more aggressive approach towards winning business in the South African coffee market. In the year since miko Belgium and their local partner took over the distribution, we have more than quadrupled our client base in South Africa and added a full range of professional equipment to our portfolio.

So Our brand is relatively new in South Africa but our goal is to become the second coffee company in the country with national coverage by the end of 2008. Although we are still a small player in the market here we are part of a massive international group with a turnover in excess of 83 million Euro's per year. Other branches include England, Australia, The Netherlands, France, The Czech Republic, Greece, Korea, Poland, Slovakia, Germany and of course our head office in Belgium.
