Paulig Group

☕ From coffee waste to a natural dye to the Nova Tote bag Last week in Helsinki, ASK Scandinavia and SPINNOVA® unveiled the Nova Tote, a fusion of Nordic design, sustainable innovation, and our very own coffee waste repurposed as a natural dye. Dyed naturally with Paulig’s coffee grounds in collaboration with Natural Indigo Finland, each bag reflects our commitment to circular thinking and sustainability-driven creativity. Prior to last week’s event, the Nova Tote made its debut at Paris Fashion Week on March 7-8. 🌱 The Nova Tote is crafted from Spinnova®, a fully sustainable material made from wood. Combined with coffee-based dyes, it creates a minimalist yet striking design. At Paulig, we’re proud to be part of this innovative project. Our collaboration with Natural Indigo Finland is a great example of how we’re actively working to minimize waste within our operations and turning byproducts into something meaningful.

📣 It’s official – Paulig has closed the acquisition of Conimex!

With a rich heritage and strong emotional connection to consumers, Conimex is more than a brand – it’s part of everyday life in the Netherlands. At Paulig, we’re committed to continuing to build and develop the Conimex brand with love and attention – staying true to its legacy. This acquisition strengthens Paulig’s position in the World Foods category, its presence in the Netherlands, adds exciting new flavour to our portfolio, and supports our broader growth strategy in Europe.
