Moreover, the cooperative invests heavily in research and development, employing expert food scientists and culinary artisans who constantly push the boundaries of what is possible in the frozen dessert world.

of belonging, accountability and shared purpose that permeates every layer of the organization. Employees are not just staff members—they are stakeholders in a shared dream. This creates an environment where passion flourishes and excellence becomes a collective pursuit.
Training and internal development are strongly emphasized. New team members are often mentored by seasoned professionals who have spent decades mastering their craft. This intergenerational knowledge transfer

ensures that while innovation is embraced, tradition is preserved. There is pride in process, reverence for ingredients and a genuine desire to exceed expectations every single time.
Grupo Alacant also extends its values
outward, maintaining strong relationships with local suppliers and supporting the broader community through various social initiatives. Whether it is sponsoring local events, participating in sustainability projects or supporting food banks, the cooperative recognizes its role as a social contributor as much as a commercial one.
Global Aspirations, Local Foundations
Though Grupo Alacant has established a dominant presence within Spain, its aspirations do not end at national borders. The cooperative is actively exploring and expanding into international markets, bringing its uniquely Spanish approach to quality and flavor to new audiences. Yet, despite its global ambitions, it remains firmly rooted in its origins. All decisions, no matter how expansive, are filtered through the lens of its founding principles: authenticity, community, sustainability and exceptional taste.
The brand’s ability to balance scale with intimacy is a rare feat in today’s corporate world. While it now operates large-scale production facilities with the capacity to serve multinational retailers, it retains the soul of a neighborhood gelateria. Every product bears the imprint of hands that care and minds that dare.
Grupo Alacant’s story is not simply one of business success—it is a celebration of people, passion and perseverance. In a crowded marketplace, it has managed to retain its voice, its vision and its values

Crafting Coffee Excellence
Nuova Ricambi
Bennett Cole
In the world of coffee, where flavor, tradition and innovation blend with precision and care, there exists a company that has become indispensable to baristas, roasters and technicians alike. That company is Nuova Ricambi. For more than three decades, it has quietly powered the global coffee industry by doing what few notice but none can operate without—providing high-quality spare parts and accessories for espresso machines and coffee grinders. Behind every perfect espresso shot pulled in a bustling café or serene corner shop, there’s a good chance a Nuova Ricambi part is working flawlessly behind the scenes.
Founded in Italy, the beating heart of espresso culture, Nuova Ricambi has grown into a global brand with an unmatched reputation for reliability, consistency and service. The company is not only a supplier of parts—it is a guardian of quality in every cup. Its commitment to excellence reaches deep into the industry, enabling coffee professionals to focus on their craft, knowing the tools they use are supported by the best in the business.
The Unseen Architects of Perfection
There is a quiet kind of heroism in doing something vital and doing it flawlessly every time. That is precisely the space Nuova Ricambi occupies. While most eyes are on the artistry of latte foam or the gleam of an espresso machine, Nuova Ricambi focuses on the components that make it all possible—from steam valves and portafilters to gaskets and grinders. Each product in their extensive catalogue is designed, tested and delivered with an obsessive attention to detail.
This philosophy has guided Nuova Ricambi through years of industry evolution. As coffee culture has gone global, expectations have risen. Machines have become more complex, and the barista’s role more central. Through it all, Nuova Ricambi has adapted without compromising its core values. Whether supporting a third-wave café in New York or a heritage espresso bar in Milan, the company brings the same level of passion to every customer.
Global Reach, Italian Soul
At its core, Nuova Ricambi is undeniably
Italian. The brand carries the spirit of Italian craftsmanship—deep respect for tradition, a love of beauty and a relentless pursuit of
Smar t, innovative tools for cleaning and maintaining coffee equipment.
We innovate to simplify the work of professionals and preserve the magic of coffee
excellence. Yet its reach has become truly global. Today, Nuova Ricambi supplies over 150 countries, serving distributors, repair centers and coffee businesses of every scale and type. What makes this even more impressive is the consistency of its service, which has become a benchmark in the industry.
Their international success stems from more than logistics. It is a result of long-term partnerships, trust and a deep understanding of local markets. By blending Italian heart with international agility, Nuova Ricambi ensures every shipment, every order and every conversation meets the highest expectations.
Behind this global footprint lies a team that is fiercely dedicated to building relationships, not just transactions. Every call answered, every inquiry addressed and every part shipped is a testament to the company’s belief in long-term trust. That belief has turned Nuova Ricambi from a spare parts supplier into a vital pillar of the coffee industry.
Innovation Rooted in Expertise
Innovation is not always loud. Sometimes, it is found in a stronger seal that prevents leaks during high-pressure brewing. Sometimes, it’s in a redesigned filter basket that improves extraction or a quicker shipping method that reduces downtime for a café. Nuova Ricambi embraces innovation
through thoughtful refinement, informed by decades of hands-on experience and customer feedback.
The company actively collaborates with equipment manufacturers, technicians and baristas to stay ahead of needs. It is a continuous feedback loop where challenges become opportunities, and every improvement is a step toward making coffee better for everyone involved.
Their modern facility outside Milan serves as the heart of this innovation. Here, every component is carefully
of a fast-paced café environment.
Supporting the Culture of Coffee
Beyond machinery and components, Nuova Ricambi plays a larger role in the cultural ecosystem of coffee. The company supports barista competitions, coffee festivals and training programs around the world. These initiatives are not about branding—they are about fostering community, celebrating skill and championing the people behind the beans.
This deep connection to the human side of coffee has kept Nuova Ricambi relevant in a time when automation and mass production often threaten authenticity. By supporting education, craftsmanship and events that elevate the profession, the company helps ensure that the next generation of coffee makers inherit a world rich with opportunity, tradition and innovation.
From Rome to Rio, from Tokyo to Toronto—if the espresso is great, chances are we had a part in it
sourced, inspected and tested to rigorous standards. Whether it’s a small rubber seal or a chrome group handle, the commitment to performance is non-negotiable. Each part carries with it the assurance that it will not only work but excel under the pressures
Their dedication extends to sustainability as well. Nuova Ricambi prioritizes environmentally conscious sourcing and packaging practices, constantly seeking ways to reduce waste and improve efficiency. Because preserving the planet matters just as much as preserving taste.
The aroma of freshly brewed espresso will always stir the soul. Behind that experience, unseen and unheralded, companies like Nuova Ricambi quietly keep the world’s cafés running and its coffee culture thriving. They understand that perfection is built on precision, and that even the smallest component plays a big role in something as meaningful as a daily ritual.
Through integrity, innovation and an unwavering commitment to quality, Nuova Ricambi has earned its place as a true ally to coffee professionals across the globe. The machines may evolve, the techniques may advance, but the need for excellence will never fade—and Nuova Ricambi will always be there, at the very heart of it all.
