Jacob roasted the beans in order to create his own special brand of coffee. Less than 100 years later, the successful coffee company merged with a Swiss chocolate company to form Jacobs Suchard.
In 1987 the company was bought by Brach’s Candy. In 1990, Philip Morris purchased Jacobs for $3.8 billion.
Today, Jacobs is a billion-dollar brand. Jacobs coffee is now available in the market throughout Europe and the Middle East, and the brand is a market leader in more than 20 countries.
Jacobs coffee today is marketed in Europe by Jacobs Douwe Egberts.
