Who is Stalkmarket?

Asean Corporation, the parent of the Stalkmarket family of brands, (Stalkmarket, Jaya and Planet+) was founded in 1989, and today has grown into one of the leaders of offering only 100% BPI (Biodegradable Products Institute) certified compostable products to the coffee retail industry and food service in general. From the humble beginnings in Portland, Oregon, the company now services customers worldwide with its every growing list of all natural single use tableware.

The company has maintained its focus on only offering the finest quality in products for the coffee industry, including the first ever BPI certified compostable hot cup lids for our Planet+ line. The lids make the use of standard Polystyrene and Polypropylene lids unnecessary for the coffee retailer who is striving to green up their own operations and moving away from the more petroleum based plastic resin products commonly found in the marketplace.

Key ProductsStalkmarket paper tableware is made from 100% biodegradable compostable sugar cane fiber, a by-product of the sugar rening process. Our products are 100% tree and plastic free, made from sustainable resources, biodegradable, recyclable and home compostable. They are a natural alternative to styrofoam and plastics!

Additionally, they are microwaveable & freezer safe. Another bonus is that they are oil & cut resistant.

All Stalkmarket products are made utilizing either pre-consumer recycled fibers, or easily renewable plant based raw materials for all of its products. Coupled with their natural fully compostable end of life capabilities, they are one of the truly greenest and sustainable products on the market at prices that are competitive or on parity with the common standard poly products.

Also, many users are finding that by switching to fully compostable and renewable material products, they themselves are less susceptible to price swings due to raising oil and gas prices, whereas all natural and compostable products, have shown over time to be much more steady in their pricing when compared the to larger fluctuations of petroleum based products.

CompostabilityStalkMarket products can be disposed of or composted. When there is food residue on the plate, container etc. disposal of our products into the wet garbage stream is preferred, or ideally in a commercial composting facility.

Many municipalities direct their wet garbage (food waste) into composting operations. Products are made from Bagasse, the natural cellouse fibers that remain after sugarcane has been processed to remove all the liquid juice from the sugarcane stalk. Natural fibers such as these will biodegrade in the presence of heat, moisture, oxygen and microorganisms that feed on the fibers as part of their normal diets. There are no synthetic fibers used in StalkMarket products. StalkMarkets Jaya and Planet + products use polylactic acid (PLA) and other biopolymers, that are also made of sustainable plant materials and industrially compostable. Our products break down extremely quickly in commercial composters. Even if our products end up in a landfill, they will still break down provided air and moisture are present, though the process may take significantly longer and greatly depends on how the landfill operates.

Key Advantages to ClientsThe Stalkmarket family not only has your hot beverage cup and lid needs covered, but also for the extras that your business may provide to your customers for their shop visit. Be it clear take containers, compostable cutlery, clear cups for those cold summer beverages, cold soda cups, hot soups, you name it, the list goes on. Stalkmarket is your partner to fill your needs for responsible single use tableware. 100% compostable. It is all we do. Call us today!

Roasting Equipment & Supplies

Who is Scolari?

The experience that Scolari Engineering has developed in controlling coffee roasting factories is the outcome of many years at the service of our exacting customers. The main producers of coffee for quality and quantity use Scolari roasters.

Scolari Engineering was started some years before World War II by Antonio Scolari when the family decided to buy a company that was roasting coffee and manufacturing roasters. After years of perfecting and fine-tuning, Scolari now offers some of the most advanced, exacting systems for controlling coffee in roasting factories. Scolari is focused on integrated roasting systems and cutting-edge technology.

The company says it doesnt solely sell a group of individual machines; they install a sophisticated manufacturing system. We provide the entire factory, from drop-off of the beans up to the inlet of a packaging machine. We design the factories and we can install. Today, Scolari is focused on integrated roasting systems and cutting-edge technology. Each machine can network with the surrounding machinery.

Key ProductsScolari produces green silos and computer driven coffee roasters, grinders and roasted storage systems.

Our production program includes:

Re-circulating air, drum style coffee roasters with up to 500 kg batch sizes

Green and roasted coffee multi-cells silos Electronic weighting system emission Cleaning and purifying system with catalyst Station of bags or bulk reception with opening devices

Bucket, chain and disc conveyors as well as dense and dilute phase conveying

Circuits for dust collection Electronic weighing system Blending program for green coffee control Modulating gas burner installed with long combustion chamber to purify and heat up the fumes before entering the pollution system

Extraordinary program for coffee temperature profile control

Blending program for roasted coffee control Rolls grinders that connect with laser analyzer Ground coffee degassing silo with or without nitrogen

Lot tracking Chaff compacting system Greatest StrengthsScolari is recognized in the industry for its innovation. In fact, when the IBM personal computer first came out, Scolari saw an opportunity the opportunity to drive a roaster control program on a PC. Now, the Scolari roasting systems are highly advanced on a technical level; the perfect blend of art and science.Scolari has more years in software than anyone, and their often updated, mature program has obvious benefits. Also, our programs and equipment have flexibility. We record all batches, and the software helps eliminate common errors that operators might make. Overall, when it comes to troubleshooting, Scolari machines are able to detect and flag the vast majority of faults, often before anyone is aware that a problem even exists.

We have 2-way data integration with enterprise computer systems, local or remote.

Key Advantages to ClientsScolari works hard to help its roastery customers through each step of the production process, to help them maintain high quality. At Scolari, control and consistency are the keys to quality coffeeand thats where Scolari excels. Its about taking care of the coffees to make a quality product, and that is Scolaris biggest advantage.

Operators or service personnel can view the online manual and printed copies are included with each major type of machinery. Additionally, one month prior to starting up the system, operators receive advanced training on how to use computers and software. Our technicians provide further training during installation and start-up, and remain on site for a period of effective operation to solve any problems. After a period of machine operation, technicians return to perform a check-up and to make sure that operators fully understand the system. Thanks to our modular designs, we get customers up and running quickly and keep them running thanks to a very robust design.

ShopKeep POS provides the best customer care in the business and the ability to choose your own credit card processor (unlike some other POS systems).

ShopKeep POS knows youre serious about your coffee shop business and works hard every day to empower you to succeed and grow.

Key ProductsRinging up sales is just the beginning. The ShopKeep POS iPad point of sale system creates robust reports about all aspects of your coffee shops business, streamlines your inventory management, and helps you understand exactly what you need to do to succeed and grow. Merchants have used ShopKeep POS to help them re-organize merchandise, create new menu items that appeal to their customers, increase sales, and open more stores.

Now with ModifiersShopKeep POS just made your job a lot simpler and your pricing a lot more transparent with our recently launched modifiers feature.

Whether it be adding an extra espresso shot or holding the whipped cream, the new modifiers feature allows you to customize orders right on your iPad register. Plus, each add on can have different prices (or no extra charge) pre-programmed into the register. You also get access to a modifiers report in the BackOffice so you can see how much revenue is coming from modifiers

and which ones are the best sellers. Best of all, the modified order prints directly to your remote kitchen printer saving a lot time and stress.

New Time ClockThe time clock feature is about exactly thathelping you save money by being smart with your time. Every small business owner knows how challenging it can be to manage staff. After listening to the needs of merchants, ShopKeep POS has integrated a time clock feature to track the hours employees work.

Greatest StrengthsCreated by a merchant: ShopKeep POS was created by Jason Richelson, a former owner of multiple coffee shops, who knows what its like to stand behind the counter. According to Jason, When I look at other iPad POS systems out there its clear to me that these folks have never stood behind a cash register. They dont really understand what retailers want to see, the numbers they want to see, where they want to see them, and how they want to see them. Richelson adds, I do understand. So when a retailer tries ShopKeep POS they get it and they know that this is what they have been looking for.

Live, personal Customer CareJason also understands the importance of being able to get quick, friendly, and smart support when you need it and so hes created the best customer care department in the business.

Unlike other iPad point of sale systems that require you to use them as your credit card processor, ShopKeep POS allows you to use any processor you choose. New shop owners may want to negotiate the best rate they can find. Many shop owners that are switching to ShopKeep POS from another POS system want to stay with the processor they have had for years and ShopKeep POS makes that easy. And of course, if you dont have a credit card processor at all, ShopKeep POS is more than happy to help get you set up with one that is right for your business.

finum heads a product range which, alongside disposable and permanent filters, includes several patented and award winning brewers for tea and coffee.

COMPANY NAMEfinum by Riensch & Held GmbH & Co. KG

CONTACT+49 40 734 240 (Germany)www.finum.com

Manufacturers of filters and accessories for tea, coffee & spices

Who is finum?

From Riensch & Held back in Mexico in the mid 1800s to finum in Hamburg of the 21st century, the story is rich, the way long, the recipe one and only: strive for expertise, trust and a vision to the future.

The story begins with a trading house importing coffee and legumes from Latin America, as well as exporting industrial goods from Europe. After World War II, the company continues its original business proceeding into the 1960s where it is then gradually transformed into a leading OEM.

The companys brand finum features a range of filters and contemporary tools for tea, coffee and spices. Patented ideas, stylish design and efficient manufacturing are the cornerstones of finum. If we add these to the high quality of the products, we come to realize what has made the company a true leader in the industry.

Although finum is now a highly recognized brand all around the world, it was only launched in the beginning of 2000, when the company introduces the stylish Tea Control range including a patented mechanism allowing tea drinkers to tailor the strength of their brew during the process. Preparing loose leaf tea now becomes so simple and enjoyable. No wonder that two of the Tea Control non-electric tea makers win the red dot Design Award as well as the Good Design Award of the Chicago Athenaeum.

Christian Justus, apart from being Managing Director of the company, is also behind the innovative and inspired design of many of the companys products. In constant inquiry of the stylish, the qualitative, the modern, he

travels around the globe, networks in the most prestigious fairs, discovers the secrets of different cultures, observes the trends and ultimately seeks fulfillment of the customers needs.

But what is the main aspect that brings finum to the top of the rank in this very competitive industry? The German brand is the worlds leading manufacturer in biodegradable tea filters for many years now. The true-flavor disposables are the ones to offer the brand the opportunity to build a good reputation in the market. They are made of abaca pulp, cellulose and sealing fiber. With affordable pricing and exceptional quality, finum manufactures the worlds most requested tea filters. The feature easy-fill flap and their expanding have become an industry standard.

finum appears to be one of the few companies in the industry offering a complete range of products around tea and spices fulfilling the needs of the consumers from Europe to the Americas and Asia. This adds to finums USP: affordable products distinguished by their unique design and above all high quality.

And what does the future bring? In a fast changing world where mobility rules and people spend hours transporting, a revolutionary double-walled tea-to-go tumbler made from BpA-free Tritan is about to be introduced and be recognized as a breakthrough by tea friends around the world. Including the world-wide patented Tea Control Kit and a lid resembling a tea cup, TRAVELER ZITA has managed to win the Best New Product and the Green Good Design Award for the most sustainable, eco-friendly products in the market.

This is not all . . . the company is planning to hook up with the latest trends in the United States: the cold brewing method for tea and coffee, as well as fruit and herbal infusions in water: H2O PLUS is a multifunctional, innovative carafe that is destined to rock the market.

The other big trend on which finum is turning its attention to as an established manufacturer of flavoring tools is related to freshly ground spices and herbs: LOOK TOUCH TASTE grinders promise to take the experience into a whole new level.

A new chapter is about to begin.

Since 1941, Curtis has remained a family-owned business committed to the principles of innovation, quality and superior craftsmanship in gourmet coffee, tea and specialty beverage systems.

COMPANY NAMECurtis

CONTACT(800) 421-6150www.wilburcurtis.com

Beverage Dispensing Equipment, Coffee Brewer Manuf, Grinding Equipment,Iced Tea Equipment, Water Filtration

Who is Curtis?

Founded in 1941 by Wilbur Curtisa hard-working, charismatic man who made and sold glass coffee decanters and Bakelite trays, the Wilbur Curtis Company is now one of the worlds top commercial coffee brewing equipment manufacturers.

Catering to restaurants, convenience stores and other high-volume coffee venues, Curtis has been instrumental in helping transform the all-American cup of joe into a gourmet beverage and truly memorable experience.

Founded on a passion for great coffee, and still family-owned after four generations, they attribute their success to an almost old-world devotion to tradition, balanced with experienced sales and marketing, along with a firm embrace of innovation and technology.

Key Products Curtiss new Gold Cup Brewer is considered by pundits as the best single-serving brewer on the market. Infused with state-of-the-art components and Curtis Generation Four (G4) digital technology, it is engineered to make American-style, drip-filtered coffee that meets the SCAAs exacting Golden Cup standards.

To help all operators make a perfect cup of coffee, the brewers integrated G4 digital controls feature an intuitive touch screen and icon-driven interface driving either preprogrammed or customized recipes. Self-diagnostics simplify maintenance. Plus, the machine has a patented brew cone for optimum extraction, and special siphon technology that helps bring out maximum coffee flavor by letting it hydrate and bloom to its fullest.

Next, Curtiss double-wall Gemini Satellite Brewing System features the companys IntelliFresh technology, which maintains coffees ideal freshness and temperature throughout its two-hour dispensing cycle by enveloping the satellite with pulses of gentle heat.

IntelliFresh settings are locked in and kept until the next brewing cycleeven if the vessel is moved to a remote serving stand. Washable and durable, the IF satellite servers on this system feature a unique connection and encapsulated electronics that literally remember settings both at the brewer and on their remote serving stand as well.

Curtis is also pushing the envelope with innovations like FreshTrac. Leveraging RFID communications, FreshTrac is a flashing indicator that attaches to the coffee decanter itself and tracks freshness right from the point of brewing. It alerts the operator when coffee is no longer at its peak and a new brew is needed.

Greatest Strengths Many Curtis associates are coffee connoisseurs, having undergone rigorous SCAA training. This appreciation for coffees finer points and aesthetics drives the innovation that is also one of the companys key strengths.

Curtiss famous quality is attributable to its high-tech manufacturing systems. They employ lean, cell-based techniques, Kaizen continuous process improvement teams, plus an amazing laser inspection system; and Curtis was the first commercial coffee equipment manufacturer to be ISO 9001-certified.

Industry Contributions Over the course of 70-plus years, Curtis ingenious coffee brewing advancements have propelled the industry forward.

Inventions like the unbreakable neck decanter and popular Low Boy Pourover Urn kicked things off early on. And Curtis continued evolving to stay a step ahead of the market, introducing new equipment like DB-12 Decanter Brewers in 1969, and in 1980 their now iconic Gemini system, whose double-wall satellite design and other innovations preserved coffees freshness and flavor.

Later came the Alpha line of decanter brewers, and the ThermaPro system, providing one-touch preset recipes for a variety of gourmet coffees.

In the nineties, Curtis released their Primo Cappuccino Specialty Drink Machine, then introduced the industrys first line of true digitally-controlled coffee equipment based on the companys exclusive Advanced Digital System (ADS) technology, which they have constantly refined and now market as Generation Four (G4) digital technology.

Key Advantages to ClientsFor sit-down restaurants, Curtis equipment offers pre-set recipes, and the ability to program customized brews. Popular national chains have thus been able to develop special signature flavors to complement their menu and attract a more discerning clientele.

The challenge for convenient stores is maintaining both high quality and appropriate volume all day via a basic, repeatable operation manageable by all skill levels. Enter Curtiss Primo Cappuccino Specialty Drink Machine, whose design offers fast yet tasty specialty beverages.

Hotels, banquets and catering companies usually brew coffee in the kitchen, then move and keep it hot and fresh, often for extended periods. The Curtis Gemini system was specifically designed to keep coffee at an ideal temperature without scorching it or destroying its flavor. Curtiss Generation Four (G4) IntelliFresh technology has taken this a step further, allowing the satellite settings to be locked in throughout the dispensing cycle, even on remote serving stands.

Additional Information For all its customer segments, The Wilbur Curtis Company also offers some of the best service in the industryCurtis Care, along with excellent marketing and product support that includes on-machine branding, assistance with custom POP material and equipment signage, plus the willingness to modify standard equipment designs to accommodate special customer requests and installations.

Who is Java Jacket?

In the Fall of 1991, Jay Sorensen invented the original recycled, best insulating coffee cup sleeve on the market. While leaving a local coffee drive-thru while taking his daughter to school, Jay dropped a cup of hot coffee in his lap because the paper cup was too hot. That got him thinking there must be a better way to get your Joe on the go.

The Sorensens house became company headquarters. The Sorensens went after their dream by selling to local coffee shops out of the back of their car. Sales percolated quickly after Jay and his wife Colleen went to their first coffee trade show in Seattle.

The family run business has now sold over four billion cup sleeves by putting our customers comfort and satisfaction first. We sell to the corner espresso stand, as well as some of the biggest coffee chains.

We strongly believe in giving back to the community.

them in his mothers kitchen. Joes coffee became the talk of the neighborhood. As he began selling the freshly roasted whole beans from a pushcart, coffee lovers would flock from all around. Soon Joe bought a small factory and sold his premium coffee to hotels and restaurants. The aroma from his factory, along with Joes equally irresistible charm, gave Martinson its reputation. The Martinson tradition continues today. No other coffee is roasted and blended with the same time-honored commitment to fresh, full-bodied flavor that made Joe Martinson a legend. For coffee as bold and robust as its founder, enjoy a true Cup of Joe, now available in RealCup single serve capsules in Breakfast Blend, Dark Roast, Donut Shop Blend, French Roast, Hazelnut, and House Blend.

Daterras research into the characteristics of each variety, aiming for the perfect blend, puts it ahead of competition due to a wide coffee menu that meets customers demands for coffee attributes.

In the Coffee Laboratory, trained cuppers participate in daily sessions to tailor the best blend for the ideal espresso or drip coffee in order to offer roasters simply the best.

Greatest Strengths The Penta System is a set of technological procedures developed by Daterra engineers to ensure quality consistency. Penta System was based on the 6 Sigma and Total Quality Program. The rigid inspections of the beans yield superb coffees.

The most important output of the system is the quality. Every stage of this unique processing system has been designed to select only the coffee beans that match the high quality window of Daterra. From picking to shipping, only the perfect beans remain in the process.

Planting, harvesting, drying, sorting and packaging are the five stages of the system that eliminates all defects and guarantees outstanding quality control.

Daterra was the first coffee producer certified with ISO 14001. It specifies the tangible requirements for an environmental management system. It is applied to those environmental aspects over which the organization has control and upon which it is expected to exert constructive influence.

The first Brazilian Rainforest Alliance certified Farm was Daterra in 2003. In 2011, the Rainforest Alliance and Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN) considered it the first South Americas

Climate Friendly Farm. Besides meeting SANs sustainability standards, Daterra took additional steps to mitigate climate change and adapt to its impacts.

Pod Pack is the leading manufacturer and distributor of single cup brewing solutions for hotels, offices, and restaurants, with current focus on pods.

COMPANY NAMEPod Pack International, LTD.

CONTACT(225) 752-1160www.podpack.com

Coffee/Equipment - Pods, Private Label

Who is Pod Pack?

Since 1996 Pod Pack has serviced the coffee industry as the largest converter of private label and national branded pods. The Company is unique in that it has chosen not to promote its own brands, but instead focus 100% of its efforts on copacking for others. The Company was started in New Orleans and moved to Baton Rouge in 2000, five years ahead of Hurricane Katrina. It also has an administrative and sales office in NJ. Over the years Pod Pack has grown its facility and has added products and services to appeal to the needs of its customer base.

Key ProductsCurrently, Pod Pack focuses its products and services into three primary channelsRestaurants, Hotels, and Offices. The Company also expects new growth in the future from retail, C-Stores, Fast Food Restaurants, and other segments.

The key product line for Restaurants is espresso pods. The espresso pod is a value-added product offering convenience because it eliminates the steps of grinding, dosing, and tamping the coffee prior to brewing an espresso shot. This year the Company plans to focus its efforts on more education directed towards the end-users.

The key product for Hotels is the In-Room single cup coffee pod. The new pod brewing systems have become the best solution for eliminating the past sanitation issues

associated with the 4-Cup coffee brewing

systems. There are also other savings to the hotel, including lower labor costs for cleaning, lower energy costs (brewing one cup instead of four cups and no hot plate), lower costs for replacing broken carafes, lower costs for brewers, etc.

The fastest growing product line is the OCS pod. Combined with the newly enhanced pod brewers from Bunn, Newco, and SunCana, pods can produce the highest quality coffee available for any single cup delivery system to the offices that offer variety. Pods provide the same convenience and variety as other single cup systems, but spent pods are

compostable, which makes the pod system the most environmentally-friendly single cup brewing system available. Pod Pack plans to

focus on the end-users in the office by

educating them on why pods offer the best value in terms of Quality, Green, and Lower Cost. Distributors are also enjoying significantly higher margins and are now going back to private labeling and branding, which has proven to make them more unique and successful, just as it did in the past.

Greatest StrengthsPod Packs strengths are many, but the greatest strengths come from the employees. Every day, their focus is on taking care of the Customer and giving the customer what they want. The main emphasis is on producing quality products and providing outstanding service to the customers.

Secondly, Pod Pack believes that relationships are everything! Pod Packs past relationships were key to getting the Company off the ground back in the mid-90s. When you meet someone related to coffee, you never know when or how your paths will cross in the future. Pod Pack goes out of its way to develop new relationships and nurture current relationships that are mutually beneficial.

Next, Pod Packs strengths come from utilizing state of the art equipment to produce the products. The Company maintains the equipment at very high standards. Over the years and depending on the demand, Pod Pack has used its own internal resources to adapt and engineer its equipment in ways that allow it to make a better product for the consumer.

Finally, the Company strives to be The Experts in single cup brewing by constantly analyzing new technologies and building industry relationships.

Industry ContributionsBy being the experts and leaders in the pod industry, Pod Pack focuses on developing new advanced knowledge and then sharing it with its customers.

For example, Pod Pack was the first pod maker to determine a better design for the hotel pod used in the hospitality segment. The Company is currently offering hotel pods with the 3rd marked improvement and is working on the new 4th generation hotel pod.

As another example, Pod Pack has worked very closely with the OCS pod brewing equipment manufacturers to determine the best pod designs and brewer settings to make the best cups of coffee. In fact, working together Pod Pack and the brewer manufacturers have determined that the new OCS pod brewing systems can hit the SCAAs Golden Cup Standard, which is an impossible task for the cartridge based brewing systems. Also, to be a complete service company for the OCS industry, Pod Pack not only offers private label pods, but also carries many different pod brewers as well as racking systems. This establishes Pod Pack as the One Stop Shop for the OCS industry.

Finally, Pod Packs foundation business, espresso pods, offers a very convenient way to brew espresso shots. Pod pack not only makes the pods, but the Company offers all the available solutions for adapting any espresso brewer to properly brew the espresso pods.

Key Advantages to ClientsOur customers know that they can count on Pod Pack for delivering good value. Prices may not always be the lowest, but the customers know they will receive superior quality and outstanding service. Quality and service are all that Pod Pack really has to offer to its customers. If a customer contacts Pod Pack, they can expect a timely response.

No other single cup manufacturer offers the private label and branding solutions that Pod Pack offers. In fact, Pod Pack offers a private label solution to smaller OCS operators by only requiring a one case minimum and no upfront investment in custom materials!
