Franke invests in strategic partnership with Dalla Corte

Swiss coffee machine manufacturer adds a premium espresso brand to its business with the latest acquisition.

The Swiss Franke Group welcomes Dalla Corte S.R.L., a premium coffee machine manufacturer from Italy, into its family of companies. With this strategic partnership, Franke is expanding its range of professional coffee machines with traditional espresso machines. The two companies will continue to operate on the market independently in the future.

The Swiss Franke Group, with its headquarters in Aarburg, has acquired a majority stake in Dalla Corte S.R.L as of the end of June. This Italian company from Milan (Baranzate) produces traditional portafilter espresso machines in the premium segment for private and professional use.

Dalla Corte will continue to manage its business from the company’s head office in Italy as an independent brand.

“As a manufacturer of traditional espresso machines, Dalla Corte focuses on the essentials: The consistently perfect espresso taste which, thanks to innovative technology, meets the highest quality standards. In Dalla Corte, we have found a partner that shares the same values as Franke in terms of quality, technology and innovation,” Patrik Wohlhauser, CEO of the Franke Group.

Franke Coffee Systems is a world-leading solution provider of fully automatic coffee machines for professional coffee preparation.
