Ueshima
Coffee Co., Ltd. (UCC) Holdings Japan, a global integrated coffee business, has
unveiled a state-of-the-art showroom and headquarters for Allegro Beverage
Corporation in Mandaluyong City. Allegro Beverage, one of the country's largest
importers and distributors of coffee machines, joined the UCC family in 2017.
According
to Hubert Young, President and Chief Executive Officer of UCC Philippines, the
addition of Allegro Beverage to the renowned UCC Group complements their
business as they operate across the entire coffee value chain - from farm to
cup.
"At
UCC, we strive to create better lives for all through coffee," said Young.
He emphasized that the UCC Group is committed to driving positive change in the
coffee industry, and this acquisition aligns with their vision to promote
sustainable practices and support coffee communities worldwide. He further
stated that UCC is dedicated to transitioning to 100% sustainably sourced
coffee for all UCC brands by 2030.
According
to Young, having Allegro Beverage as one of their business units will address
the needs of the coffee community. “By collaborating with partners and
leveraging on our business units, including Allegro Beverage, UCC aims to
create a positive impact on individuals, society, and the environment,” he
said.
The new
Allegro Beverage showroom showcases premier coffee machine brands distributed
nationwide, such as Nuova Simonelli and Victoria Arduino from Italy, Crem from
Sweden, FRANKE Coffee Systems from Switzerland, Mahlkönig from Germany,
among many others.
Additionally,
the facility houses a service center for coffee machine maintenance.
Allegro
Beverage products also include sauces, syrups, teas, oat milk, and
top-of-the-line coffee roasted by UCC.
The
company's corporate clientele, which includes leading hotels, franchise chains,
culinary and educational institutions, restaurants, and cafes, will now have
access to an expanded range of coffee solutions and innovations.
“This
year marks the 24th year of Allegro in the coffee industry. With all the
changes, the addition of our new and beautiful showroom and service center, and
of course, our new branding, the Allegro family is truly ready to be your
partner in brewing new opportunities,” said Yasmin A. Vasquez, chief executive
officer of Allegro Beverage.
She
also revealed their plans to open a branch in Albay in October and another in
Palawan. “These will be through our dealers, who will have their own brands but
will carry all Allegro products,” she added.
Currently,
Allegro Beverage has branches in Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, and Pampanga, as
well as dealerships in Bohol, Cavite, Laguna, Pangasinan, Quezon Province, and
Iloilo.
Allegro Beverage: Brewing New Opportunities
Allegro
Beverage Corporation (ABC) has been one of the top coffee equipment and
coffee-related consumables providers in the Philippines since 1999. As the
official distributor of award-winning brands, we take pride in the trust our

industry, took a major stake in Allegro Beverage. Together, both brands create
the all-encompassing coffee solutions partnership in the country—a stronger and
better synergy that allows an upscale of products and services for the food and
beverage community. Our commitment to our partners, shareholders, and
stakeholders is to provide premium quality products and professional service,
