Active Connector Inc. company
About the Company
This company operates a direct trade platform that connects coffee producers and roasters worldwide, bringing innovation to the coffee industry. Their mission is to offer fair opportunities for small- and medium-sized producers, ensuring they receive appropriate compensation and supporting the development of sustainable farming. Traditional trade, often dependent on international market prices, has failed to fully recognize producers' efforts and the quality of their coffee. This company is addressing that issue by creating a platform now active in 84 countries.
They are expanding its platform to further accelerate sustainable direct trade. Supported by a strong financial base of 3.129 billion yen, they are looking to grow globally, with teams in Japan, the US, Taiwan, and the Netherlands.
