Legacy
Six decades of coffee.
At this point, it runs in our blood.
The first seed of our coffee legacy was planted in 1956 when we acquired a 1,000-acre coffee plantation from the Rajah of Chettinad in Coorg, India. The SLN Group began its journey by trading and exporting coffee through SLN Exports. In 2000, SLN scaled up its operations by establishing a 30,000 MT capacity curing and green bean trading division.
We have consistently expanded our innovation, technology, and product offerings year after year. Our instant coffee division was established in 2007 and has since grown to become one of Indiaʼs leading exporters of roasted, ground, and instant coffee powder, with a capacity exceeding 10,000 MT. Our manufacturing processes are designed to meet the highest international standards, encompassing ISO, GMP, FSSC 22000, and FDA regulations.
By controlling the process end-to-end from bean to brew, we offer exceptional quality and value to our customers. We are loved by customers across more than 40 countries, offering private label solutions for prestigious international brands and our own brand, Levista.
