Wrong. Douwe Egberts also continues to produce in the Netherlands, but the profits go to the mother company, in this case in the US. Same with Lavazza. The only money that goes to Italy is to the wages of its workers. I doubt they pay much taxes as these giant corps usually find ways to avoid that.
Lavazza has no parent company… it is apparently still owned by the family. that’s a partnership which is described in the link… seemingly via one of their subsidiary.
Here’s the group structure from their yearly report;
I was wrong, Lavazza isn’t owned by Dr pepper but has a partnership. In the Dutch article it says Dr pepper already has other coffee brands including Lavazza. I assumed ownership, as that’s the usual meaning of wording it that way in Dutch (I’m Dutch myself).
Example of the difference between Italians and the Dutch when it comes to coffee:
Schiphol airport: a “coffee” is 7,90, is basically water with a slight coffee taste. Not regular Dutch coffee (like americano) but more like tea.
Milan airport: 2,90 for a double espresso, actually really properly made espresso from high quality beans.
No one beats the Italians when it comes to coffee. At Schiphol airport they’re not even trying (who cares, no one is a returning customer anyway, fuck them, let’s cheap out on freaking coffee, something which barily costs anything to make)

Np, I got the opportunity to actually verify the whole info… but Italians keeps me for coffee :) I’ll keep the Dutch for my fishing equipment though.
