The Story
1942
The history of Marcafè began in 1942 with an idea conceived by Silvestro , a man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for his work, who owned a food wholesaler in Teramo.
1955
In order to meet customers' needs, he decided to install a coffee roasting machine in the store; the idea was extremely popular and recognized as a real success.
Over time, the coffee roasting business grew, and management passed to Silvestro sons, Vittorio and Francesco. Francesco, in particular, drove the company’s expansion and moved it to its new location in the Villa Pavone area.
1960
Thanks to the innate talent for art and the unquestionable creativity of Giuliana Marcozzi, Francesco's daughter, the inspirational sketch of the Marcafè brand is conceived and realized.
1980
Later, at the end of the 1980s, the management of the company passed into the hands of Vittorio, who ensured new balances and who, in order to make the presence in the area more widespread, directed his attention and commitment to bars and restaurants.

In the late 1990s, the founder’s nephews, brothers Silvestro Emilio, joined the company with a business vision centered on innovation, sustainability, and international expansion.
They move the business to the prestigious headquarters in Giulianova, a facility designed as a prime location for the development of such requirements.
