Established in 1992 in Seattle, Washington, Tully’s is a well-respected specialty coffee roaster with Pacific Northwest roots and heritage. Tully’s wholesale business division distributes coffee to supermarkets, as well as to office coffee service and food service distributors, located primarily in the Western and Midwestern U.S. It also sells its coffee in K-Cup portion packs for Keurig Single-Cup Brewers.

Founded in 1972 in Irvine, California, Diedrich Coffee Roasters’ roots go back to a family owned coffee plantation in early 1900’s Costa Rica.  Today the brand offers fine specialty coffees from around the world in K-Cup portion packs and a variety of other formats.  Diedrich specializes in sourcing, roasting and selling the world's highest quality coffees. The company markets its three leading brands of specialty coffees, Diedrich Coffee®, Coffee People® and Gloria Jean's® Coffees, through office coffee service distributors, restaurants and specialty retailers, and via the company's web stores.

Company Growth: GMCR has delivered double-digit net sales growth for the last 30 consecutive quarters. The Company has seen accelerated net sales growth of over 39% for the most recent 15 consecutive quarters.  In March 2009, GMCR acquired the Tully’s Coffee brand and wholesale business, which provides the Company with a complementary West Coast brand and business structure. In November 2009, GMCR acquired Timothy's World Coffee brand and wholesale business, accelerating GMCR's geographic expansion with a Canadian brand platform that includes manufacturing and distribution synergies.  In May, 2010, GMCR closed on the acquisition of Diedrich Coffee, which brings in house to GMCR three highly regarded and complementary brand platforms – Diedrich Coffee®, Coffee People®, and Gloria Jean’s® Coffees – further broadening GMCR’s growing beverage brand portfolio and increasing appeal to a wider range of consumers.

To support its growth, GMCR continues to make investments in its infrastructure and information systems. In 2007, the Company added manufacturing capacity by opening an 87,000 sq. ft. production facility in Essex, VT. In 2008, a 334,000 sq. ft. facility in Knox County, TN, was added. In 2009, the Tully’s acquisition added 197,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing capability in Sumner, WA, expanding the Company’s national footprint for its manufacturing and distribution efforts. The Timothy's acquisition provides GMCR with a Canadian presence and a coffee roasting facility in Toronto.  The recent Diedrich acquisition adds two manufacturing facilities – both in Castroville, California – one with 65,000 sq.ft, the other with 60,000 sq.ft.  This accelerates GMCR’s geographic expansion with complementary, strong West Coast brands and production capabilities.

The synergy between the Company’s strong coffee brands and the innovative Keurig Single-Cup Brewing System drives significant top-line and bottom-line growth. GMCR’s multi-brand portfolio and multi-channel distribution strategy provides widespread exposure to the brands in a variety of settings, ease of access to the product, and many tasting opportunities for consumer trial by the cup which subsequently leads to demand for both coffee and Keurig Single-Cup Brewers.

Environmental and Social Responsibility: GMCR’s purpose is to create the ultimate coffee experience in every life it touches from tree to cup – transforming the way the world understands business. GMCR believes that its financial success goes hand in hand with its ability to make a difference in the world. GMCR supports local and global communities by offsetting 100% of its direct greenhouse gas emissions, investing in Fair Trade Certified™ coffee and donating at least five percent of its pre-tax profits to social and environmental projects. GMCR has been ranked No. 1 on the list of “100 Best Corporate Citizens” and has been recognized repeatedly by Forbes, Fortune, and the Society of Human Resource Management as an innovative, high-growth, socially responsible company.
